sql server reporting services : SQL Reporting 2005 Report Server is not displaying report

I have two SQL Report Projects in Visual Studio 2005. One is working
correctly and the other one will not display the data from the report. The
are both using the same connection string string (OLE DB) One is working the
other is not. The one that is not working will display correctly in Preview
in Visual Studio 2005. After uploading the file it doesn't display the data.
By the way they were working fine for the previous 2 weeks and then just
stopped working last night. Rebooted the server, debugged the report and
nothing. Any ideas on what may be wrong, it works correctly in preview mode.
I am not sure what to change or even what the problem could possibly be, any
input is greatly appreciated.

Ryan:

Really probably not fair for me to say:

BUT - I REALLY BELIEVE THERE ARE SERIOUS BUGS IN THE WHOLE RELEASE OR SQL
2005 WITH REPORTING SERVICES:

I have migrated "perfectly working RS reports from 2000" to the equivalent
Business Intelligence RS 2005 and "THEY DO NOT RENDER OR WORK THE SAME"...

I have performed all of the recommended endeavors with SQL 2005 - but the
results in RS reports are absoutely just a mess !

Perfectly working reports in 2000 - I copy the directory for the 2000
project to 2005 - opened in Visual Studio for RS and then upgraded - and they
do not work the same way as 2000.....

This is really becomming a complete waste of time with 20056 with RS!

Have you checked your data source connection string in production version.
Someone may have altered it in the bad report.

Hi Ryan,
Two things to check.
1. Since it is working in preview your connection string is correct. Check
after deploying; go to the data source page from report manager and see the
connection string is same as that in your VS.
2. Check the "Overwrite Datasource" status ie true/false from project
properties. this is very critical. because you might have changed when
developing in VS and when deploying, if your status is "false" then you dont
get it. In preview it works fine when deployed it wont.

One more thing to check - if you have parameters than check the
parameter settings on the server....these do not get overwritten if you
set them on the server and then subsequently made a change in
designer....very annoying and confusing....
