Complete text of error message is

Please specify a drilldown server in the data source settings.

Cause

Resolution Process

  1. When using the RTC for drilldown, you must specify provide the name of both the RTC Server and the RTC instance in your Data Source Settings

    You may need to contact your system administration to get this information.

  2. For those installations not using the RTC, the Jet Drilldown settings can, instead, be configured to use the Jet Data Grid or the Dynamics NAV Web Client
