Hello,
Total Noob, but here goes. I am running a report on Visual Studios, SSRS. I have the following query set up.

SELECT sFName, sLName, sLogin, sPassword, sEmail, sMemNum, sFName
FROM dbo.Member
WHERE (sMemNum LIKE @AgentNumber) OR
(sLogin LIKE @LoginName)

Here is the parameter for the @ agentnumber

= "%" & Parameters!AgentNumber.Value & "%"

The @login
= "%" & Parameters!LoginName.Value & "%"

When I go to the Preview option to run the report, it will only run correctly, if I put something in both fields. If I have something in the AgentNumber Field but not the LoginName field it returns all the records in the table.

Also if I remove the second parameter and the SQL statement for it, the search runs fine, its only after I add the second LIKE condition that it hoses up.

Sorry I know this might not be the correct forum, but I wanted to register anyways since i'm new to SQL.

Thanks.

Do two things. First, change the query to

SELECT sFName,
       sLName,
       sLogin,
       sPassword,
       sEmail,
       sMemNum,
       sFName
FROM   dbo.Member
WHERE  (sMemNum LIKE '%'+@AgentNumber+'%')
       OR  (sLogin LIKE '%'+@LoginName+'%')

Second, change the parameters to Parameters!AgentNumber.Value and Parameters!LoginName.Value without the wild-card characters.
