Bug #: 50000221 (SQL Hotfix)



Notice
Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2005 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2005 fix release.



This article describes the following about this hotfix release:
 * The issues that are fixed by this hotfix package
 * The prerequisites for installing the hotfix package
 * Information about whether you must restart the computer after you install the hotfix package
 * Information about whether the hotfix package is replaced by any other hotfix package
 * Information about whether you must make any registry changes
 * The files that are contained in the hotfix package



SYMPTOMS
In Windows Internet Explorer, you open a report in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. When you create a new subscription to the report, a warning icon appears in the Windows Internet Explorer status bar. If you double-click the warning icon, you receive the following error message:

Error: Object expected

In another scenario, you open a report in the Report Explorer Web Part or in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS). Then, you create a new subscription to the report. In this scenario, you receive the error message.

This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:
 * The report contains at least two report parameters.
 * The first report parameter does not have a default value.
 * The second report parameter has a default value.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the SubscriptionProperties.aspx page looks for the ControlConditionalEnable  function. However, this function does not exist.

Note  represents a number that varies for different SubscriptionProperties.aspx pages. is the number of control dependencies on the page. For example, a text box control is enabled when you click to select a check box control. And the text box is disabled when you click to clear the check box control. In this example, one dependency exists between the text box control and the check box control.
