The layout fields in my report refers to the database fields as well as computed fields. I also have format triggers for these fields. I compile the report,generate it and save it. I didn't have any compilation errors. All the fields printing the data accurately. I close the report designer.

Next time I opened the same report. I went to layout editor and find that some of the layout fields disappeared??? It really sound wierd, isn't it ?
The computed and the database fields are still there in the data model.

Now , I went and try to delete the format trigger for the disappeared field. I got an application error, because it lost reference to the layout field.

The other thing is the fields are disappearing randonly. If in first instance I see field1 & field2 are missing, next time some other fields are the victim.
I did a virus check, reinstalled reports builder but same problems exists.

I couldn't find any way around to this and my deadline is approaching.
I am looking forward for the solution ASAP.

I can also send my .rdf file as an attachment.

Thanks in advance.
