    Hi Claus, Where can I find more infromation on debugging reports? I have a problem whereby I am developing a simple Sales Invoice report, and at (seemingly) random, the output is completely blank, except for some formatting lines I added in the RDL Layout. The SQL Reportin Service Log and Event logs show nothing unususal. It would be useful to know the process that happens when I request a report is requested from the RTC, and where I might be able to view any intermediate output files. I would really appreciate your help. Regards, Theo Stock (Cape Town)

    While in Preview mode you can Zoom into the underlying dataset of the report. In NAV 2009 RTM use this shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+F12. If your are using NAV 2009 SP1 we have changed this shortcut to CTRL+ALT+F1 and also made it accessible from the help menu. Regards, Claus Lundstrøm
