How to connect content page in a report book with XML data source?

[smnabavieh]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to use the ‘AddressBook’ example XML file as a data source for generating PDF report and I want to use a report book template to have a cover page for my report. My problem is that the final report only shows my cover page and it does not display the content page. How I should connect the content page in the main report so that its content can be displayed?

I have tried an example using the sql database, and it shows the content with no problem. However, I cannot manage to do the same with XML data source.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Kind regards,
Mohammad
