Do you mean that the report is "blank" or "black"? I assume you mean blank... Anyway, if the report isn't getting data from the dataset object then the likely causes are that you modified the XML Schema file from what it was originally (even the smallest change will throw off CR) and you need to do Set Location again to reset it. The other reason is that you need to specify the table name when you assign the dataset to the report's data source. Sometimes CR doesn't pick up the table name properly and doesn't display any data.
