Title: Drill through reports in Reportnet
Post by: onlinemerchant on 15 Jul 2005 06:27:45 AM
I can't seem to get the drill through functionality to work. I created the parent report (I assume this is the source report) and then the child report (the target report).  Selected drill throughs, selected the target report, method=execute but it doesn't drill through.

HELP!!!!!

Have you added a filter on the child report?

you also need to be certain you are set to drill on a correct column.  Make sure that it is the same one as your filter.  By default it will select the column you clicked on for drill through setup.  Verify that it is the right one.  For instance, you may want to drill on Item Name but the filter in the child is for Item Number.

Hi Merchant, is it working now?  Can you provide more details?  How many parameters are you passing to the child report?
