child records not displaying on form

Question

I am having a strange problem that I never encountered before.
On Parent form, I have a report link to Child Records.
When I choose the option "Display just a link to the related children," I get a correct report.
However, when I choose the option "Display the related children directly on the form," the report is empty.

Why would this happen?

Are you pointing to a specific report to use on the form Properties?&nbsp; My guess is that the report you are using inadvertently has a filter.&nbsp;&nbsp;

This is most likely the same bug I ran into.&nbsp; Three possible problems; one is the setting you have in the App controlling how the embedded reports display - you may need to turn on the application-setting to load all embedded reports when the form loads.&nbsp; Second problem might be if you have a connected application to a parent-set of records.&nbsp; I found that application permissions on the Cross App were being ignored and data was not made visible in embedded reports - so I had to give my user access to the parent-application with a very-locked-down role.&nbsp; Lastly; Mark's comment about filters in a report could also be the problem.&nbsp; The first two are ones I experienced from the previous rollout (not the one from Sunday) and as far as I know those bugs have not been resolved yet.

Yes, this is it. Feature or bug, it took me more then one hour to get so desperate to look up this post...

Thanks Laura!
