When I preview my report Visual Studio Report Designer gives this error message, "Data retrieval failed for the subreport 'Subreport2', located at: /reportname. Please check the log files for more information." Where might I find the logs?

I found lots of answered questions for the location of the production logs on an SSRS server, but none for the Report Designer client.

  • have you had a look at this? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4809430/visual-studio-log-file – Harry Feb 27 '18 at 22:42
  • Thanks for the tip. Under the path %APPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0 I found an ActivityLog.XML last updated in 2015. Perhaps Report Designer logs errors elsewhere. – BillVo Feb 28 '18 at 14:16
  • @BillVo did you ever find the answer to this? – Tab Alleman Apr 06 '20 at 21:05
  • @TabAlleman I don't recall finding the answer. If I was starting to look today, I'd use Visual Studio 2017 with Windows' Resource Monitor and/or Process Explorer to identify the file as it's written. – BillVo Apr 07 '20 at 15:13
