    <p>this should be a simple thing but I've spent hours to no avail. Basically, I need to look up a salesrep # in a SQL database using the user's Window's user id. The format of the user id is "Norstar\kjones" and I need the "kjones" portion of it.</p> <p>using the split function, I am able to pull just the 'kjones' part out:</p> <pre><code>split(User!UserID,"\").GetValue(1) </code></pre> <p>I've created a parameter called SlsmnNum and created a dataset to be used to look up the salesrep # using the user id (the slsm_num field is a varchar, not an integer):</p> <pre><code>select slsm_num from Salesman_Msid where slsm_msid = ''' + split(User!UserID,"\").GetValue(1) + ''' </code></pre> <p>However, I get no results. How can I get the select to work?</p> <p>alternatively, I tried the following: in parameter SlsmnNum, I set the default to an expression using: <code>split(User!UserID,"\").GetValue(1)</code> and this returns 'kjones', as expected.</p> <p>I created a SECOND parameter (which is positioned BELOW the <code>SlsmnNum</code> parameter), <code>SlsmnNum2</code>, that has a default (and an available) value using a query, which is a dataset containing the following select statement:</p> <pre><code>select slsm_num from Salesman_Msid where slsm_msid = (@SlsmnNum) </code></pre> <p>When I run the query on the Data tab, when I type in 'kjones' into the parameter box, it returns '1366', the salesrep # I'm expecting. </p> <p>But, when I Preview the report, all I get in <code>SlsmnNum2</code> box is <code>Select a Value</code> and nothing is there (it should return '1366').</p> <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
