hello !

can you please tell me , which reporting tool you are using ?

am using the report viewer that comes in V.S 2010

[M.Waqas Aslam]

i mean , are you using crystal reports , telerik reports , active x reports , etc ?

if you are using telerik reports then
use

rptViewer.Report = new yourReportName();

if you are using crystal reports then

crViewer.ReportSource = yourReportName 
CrystalReportSource1.Report = yourReportName

hope this will helps you ,

and if you want to open multiple reports in single report viewer then you have to use same code on differnt buttons , for example , buttonA,buttonB , use this code

crViewer.ReportSource = ReportA 'this is for buttonA
crViewer.ReportSource = ReportB 'This is for buttonB

or if you are using some golbal variable then just use select case statement on the report viewer load event

Hope This will helps You

in this code you are not assigning any report to report viewer , use this

rpvreport_viewer.report=yourreportname
rpvreport_viewer.show()

Hope this will helps you

is still not working when i click the smart tag and pick the report that is the only report showing. i want when i click report A the Report A shows

but in mine when i click report B , report A is show not Report B that i want

[M.Waqas Aslam]

you have to close the reportviewer form , in order to show reportB , because we are assigning the report to report viewer on the load event .

Here's a solution that could help you. It will be efficient but quite not perfect.
If you are using crystal reports with Visual studio 2010. You could try creating multiple report headers. But you should adjust your headers size so that they fit in one page.
There's another solution I found here. I hope it helps.
