Reports Not Displaying All Data

edited January 2010 in Server
I have several reports on my report server that are not displaying all the
data consistently. The reports I'm referring to have a report header that
contains 20+ columns. I have a tppVariable component in each column of the
report header. The tppVariable data type is set to a string and the angle
property is 90 degrees. When I run these reports through my local web tier,
everything works fine. But when I go through the internet to the report
server, not all of the column headers display. The browser is treating them
like an image and showing red "X"s or small red dashes next to where the
actual text should be. I can right-click the red dash and select "Show
Picture" from the browser and the data for that column header will display.
I've tried this in both Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox 3.0.17. The header
columns are all containted within a rectangle shape. I'm using Delphi 7 and
RB 11.03. I've tried playing with the security settings in IE, but no
success. Any thoughts on this?

    Have not heard of this before. Each rotated text is being rendered as an
    image for the HTML page. The browser should be loading the HTML and then
    loading the images that appear on the page. If you perform a View | Source
    on the page frame you can see the links (urls) for the images. Perhaps you
    are not giving the page enough time to load, if you let it sit for a minute
    do any of the images start appearing? If you press the Refresh button on the
    browser does the page appear correctly?

    Thanks Nard. I've tried all the things you mentioned and none of them
    helped. But it appears I've solved the problem.
    Just FYI, I changed the Application Protection settings in the virtual
    directory of the web tier from High to Medium and
    that seems to have solved the problem on all of those reports.

    Great to hear you solved the issue and thanks for sharing the solution. What
    version of Windows and IIS are you using?
