hi did you input an riptextbox in your data report?

regards
Ryan Riel

yes i have taken a textbox i am getting error datafield is empty
and datasource not found

can u tell me what is the equivalent of the emp_id, dept_name, etc in the riptextbox of your datareport thanks

i don't know MR table is not comming in object name in command2
properties dialog box

yes because you did not add an item to your data report, you should add an item in your data report like this way:

With datareport2.Sections("Section1").Controls
.Item("Text1").DataField = rs.Fields("Emp_file").Name
end with
set datareport2.datasource = rs
