Hello The report I just posted a question about has a new problem: when scrolling beyond page one (i.e. to the detail section of the report) Visual Studio always shuts down with "Visual Studio encountered an error while...and needs to close." There is a large amount of data in the detail section of this report, but why would this force Visual Studio to shut down every time? Any ideas? Thank you!Bonediggler

I faced this problem in past and rebooting my machine helped me.

I tried this but am still having the same problem... ???Bonediggler

Hi Bonediggler, Thanks for your question and arunsinghit’s reply. From your description, I understand that there are large amount of data in the detail section of this report. Based on my past experiences, I would suggest you check your scenario from the direction of Available Memory and resources for Report Server Applications. 1. Available Memory. As we know, when the report being exported in one excel document, it will spend much memory source. If the available memory size is too low, after few times, the Report Server will redistribute these resources to other reports, so please increase the size of the Available Memory. Configuring Available Memory for Report Server Applications. 2. System resources. Although the Available Memory is big enough, if the system resources is limited, after few times, system will recycle the resource from the report then redistributing the resource to other applications.Please try to free sources by disabling the unimportant startup items, then rebooting the machine. Please try to test previous suggestion in your project. If the issue still exists, please feel free let me know.

Thanks Sharp Wang As for 1., I am not running out of a report server, just merely developing the report in Visual Studio. Does this make a difference? As for 2. I don't think the system (i.e. laptop) resources are not being taxed in such a way as to cause the app to shut down. The paging file is well more than 60% unused even when Visual Studio "needs to close". Having said all that, I am not much of a hardware man so I'm probably missing something...Bonediggler

Hi Bonediggler, If I understand you correct, you created one Business Intelligence Project by SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio, in this project, when you preview one of the report, the error message displays, right? If I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate let me know. In this situation, please deploy this report to the Report Server, checking that if the report represents correctly. Please let me know the result. Thanks, Sharp Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help you and unmark them if they provide no help.
