Hi,

I drop a subreport control onto the designer and
1. the properties tab blank out ie. just showing black grids
2. click on the subreport control I get "Key 'SubReportCategory' is not found!" and crash the designer

I'm using release 2007.10.01 R2005

Hi,

With 2007.10.02 R2005 the properties tab is fixed however when I click and drag to widen the subreport control I get "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error and the following stack dump

Thank you.

Hi Pavel,

The problem occurs with any report ie. blank and existing. It can be recreated using the designer.exe and the following steps:

1. start designer which will show a blank report
2. left mouse click on the subreport control on the left tool bar then drag and drop it on the designer
3. the subreport control appears as a square box on the design
4. resize the box by click and drag one of the the resize anchor around the box
5. when you release the mouse the error will occur.

I'm using the prerelease version 2007.10.03 R2005, may be it's different to your development version. Please test this on the prerelease version.

Thanks.

Ok. We reproduced this problem. We will fix it in the begining of the next week.

Thank you.
