Report Textboxes with Expressions Not Receiving Data from DataSet

Using VS 2010 with VB

I have a report that when sent to ReportViewer - Laboratory.ConcreteTestReportForm.Show()

prints the form text as well as the database data per the expressions given for each textbox. No problem, printed report is perfect.


However, when I print it directly to the printer (bypassing ReportView) - Laboratory.PrintReportModule.PrintTestReport.Main(), the form text prints fine, but the textboxes holding the database expressions are left blank.

Here is my Load DataSet Function:

Public Function LoadLIMSData() As DataTable

Dim dataSet As New DataSet()
dataSet.ReadXml("..\..\LIMSDataSet.xsd")
LoadLIMSData = dataSet.Tables(0)

End Function

And here is my Run Sub:

Public Sub Run()

Dim report As LocalReport = New LocalReport()
report.ReportPath = "..\..\TestReport.rdlc"
report.DataSources.Add(New ReportDataSource("LIMSDataSet", LoadLIMSData()))
Export(report)

m_currentPageIndex = 0
Print()

End Sub

It appears the dataset is not being read, but I cannot figure out why not.

I am having a very difficult time getting help with this problem on any ado forum.

Can someone suggest a firm who, for a fee, can help me? I have dozens of reports that are complete; however, I just want to skip the reportviewer page and print straight (as in FASTER) to the printer. Time is money on both sides of this issue.

Thanks in advance.
