Thanks, Mortaza!

I figured it out! I had been clicking on the icon, not the text to drag and drop a field. Evidently you have to drag the text only.

Hey Heather,

Run a Windows Update and make sure you are running the latest version of the .NET Framework.

You can also download the latest version over here:

*note upon updating/installing you will need to restart your machine.

Mortaza,

Absolutely nothing. The field is selected, but that's it. No icons and no errors. Very odd.

Hi Heather,

What happens exactly when you try to drag and drop fields onto the screen? Do you get an error?

This is how it should look when you drag and drop fileds onto the screen:

Report Designer - cannot drag and drop fields

We've just started with Method and things have gone swimmingly until I installed the Report Designer.

For some reason, I cannot drag and drop fields into the Designer view. I created a test report for Campaigns so I have Campaign and Company tables. It has let me drag a couple of fields but with no rhyme or reason. I've updated my Java, but still running into the same issue. Any ideas?
