Hello everybody, I am relatively new to SSRS, and i am having a problem when deploying a report that I have made.

I am running SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Evaluation.

The report is very, very simple, simply querying a single table in a database and generating a tabular report of said data. It is a production report for a Title Company, and I am having issues when i add a 5th column. When I have 4 colums (Customer name, Loan officer, Source, Closing date), the report deploys perfectly, taking only about 2 seconds to compile the report and deploy it to the reporting Services, where it works very well. However, as soon as I add a 5th column, Even a blank column, the report does not deploy. It tries to deploy it for about 2 minuts, then times out.

Now, my first reaction might be to try and increase the timeout period, but why in the world would a blank column cause that to happen? I would much rather treat the problem than simply work around it.

I know that Timeout issues tend to stem from large data sources. And it is true; the table being queried has about 1500 records in it. I do have parameters in place, however, so that the report only ever pulls 1 specified month at a time. Plus, like I said, it deploys just fine as long as it only has 4 columns.

Strange? Please help!

when you say adding 5tn column do you mean adding column to report designer or adding to dataset itself?

Adding a column to the report Designer. With further testing, there have been other reports where dimilar things happen: For instance, I will have a report that deploys just fine, then when I add a group, it times out. I take the group away, and it Deploys fine again.

I understand that it is strange, I was just wondering if anybody happens to know if this is some sort of known issue or somethhing.
