SSRS Report Preview Problem

Hi,

I have created a dashboard report that connects to several different database connections. The report takes several minutes to run due to the amount of data that is being queried.

I have just tired to preview the report and I am getting the following error:

Please could someone help? Is this a time-out issue?

so it successfully runs sometimes and shows this error at other times?

Yes, I believe it is a time-out issue in Visual Studio 2008. The dataset is very large and therefore takes several minutes to load the report. I reduce the parameter range, reducing the dataset size the report runs fine.

There is no problem running the report in production once it has been uploaded to the report server.

I think I will have to put this down to another Microsoft bug...

Hi,

Thanks for your recommendations, I would like to do this but I just haven't got the time to do this.... The report is a KPI dashboard report that compares year on year data, so the dataset is always going to be very large. The report is Snapshot every 12 hours so the users do not notice the slowness of the running of the report.

Thanks, Greg
