<p>I get this error message regularly and although it does not interfere with the correct rendering of the report, I would like to know if it can be resolved.</p>
<p>I have an outer table, e.g. States, which cycles through all the States</p>
<p>and an inner table named Demographics, filtered on the outer table's State value:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>row["State_ID"] Equal to row._outer["state_ID"]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So far no problems. Now I also add a chart in the outer table at the same level as the inner table Demographics and bind it to the table Demographics.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Instantly I get an error message at the top of the chart design window that reads:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>"A BIRT exception occurred. See next exception for more information.<br>
The outer query results does not exist. This might be caused by a "_outer" reference in a query without parent query."</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The chart has inherited the Demographics table filter but does not like it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The chart renders fine, but I have not found a way to get rid of the error message.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Does anyone know how to get rid of this error?</p>
