SYMPTOMS

When you click a link that connects to a Data View Web Part, you may receive the following error message:
An error occurred while processing the data for this request. Contact the server administrator for more information

CAUSE

This issue may occur if all the following conditions are true:
  • Your page contains a Data View Web Part that is based on data that uses absolute URLs.
  • These URLs are used as the provider for a connection to another Web Part on the same page.
  • The connection passes parameters that are based on the file name to modify the second Data View.

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, open the page in Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 by using code view, and remove the InputFile ParameterBinding default value. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Locate the following code:
    <ParameterBinding Name="InputFile" Location="Connection" DefaultValue="File_Name"/>
    (Where File_Name is the name of the file associated with the second Data View Web Part).
  2. Remove the InputFile ParameterBinding default value so that the code looks similar to the following:
    <ParameterBinding Name="InputFile" Location="Connection" DefaultValue=""/>
  3. Save the Web page.

APPLIES TO
