Hi Experts,

I'm developing a large RDLC report in Nav 7, whenever I saved it in Nav, it prompts error message: "You cannot import layouts (RDLC files) that are larger than 5242400 bytes." ](*,) , and then the report wasn't saved successfully. :!:

Any suggestion on workarounds other than slim down the report layouts? [-o<
Thank you very much in advance

    I guess you have many logics inside the report layout, maybe it can help you using a "support" table to store the records to be printed?

    If I where you, I would create a bug on this isssue and here if Micorsoft can increase this limit.

    But I would really like to understand what you put in the Layout for it become so big?

    Maybe you have some embedded database which can be moved into the database to decrease the size?

    Thank you guys for inputs.

    In fact, what did I do is just as simple as "UNION" concept in SQL, which means I'd like to display records from multiple Tables in the single report, DataItem as this:

    ParentTable
    IndentedTable1
    IndentedTable2
    IndentedTable3
    IndentedTable4
    IndentedTable5
    IndentedTable6
    IndentedTable7
    IndentedTable8
    IndentedTable9
    IndentedTable10

    There's checkBox called "All" to display out all the ParentTable to IndentedTable1 .. IndentedTable2 record in the report, and thus meaning that in the VS RDLC Report, in Designer for Design Time, I placed all the Text Boxes. Logic (Codes), in fact, very little.

    I guess no other alternative but to report this as a Bug to Microsoft.
    Anyway, Thanks again for your inputs.
