SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services (SSRS). You use Report Builder to create a report from a report model. You edit the report several times. You delete a text box item or a picture item from the report, and then you close the report. Next, you reopen the report, and you add a text box item or a picture item to the report. Then, you try to save the report in Report Builder. In this scenario, you receive the following error message in the Microsoft Report Builder dialog box:
Unable to save report
An error occured while saving your report.
Note In this error message, the word "occured" is a misspelling for the word "occurred."

If you click Details in the dialog box, you see the following error information:
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: More than one report item in the report has the name ‘ItemName’. Report item names must be unique within a report. --->
Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ReportProcessingException: More than one report item in the report has the name ‘textbox8’. Report item names must be unique within a report.
