report model project problem - entity not showing up

I have a client table and a clientdoctors table.
In the data source view i see all the needed tables in the diagram organizer
pane. I also see the relationship between the clientdoctors table (which
holds clientid and doctorid), as well as client table and doctor table.
That all looks fine. The problem however is that when in my report model i
do not see those relationships at all between the client - client doctor -
doctor tables. There are a few situations just like this that i cannot
explain.
I am new to the report model project but i dont know why i dont see these
relationships inthe report model or while using report builder.
Any ideas please'Have you deployed properly? I mean you didn;t get any error. After deploying
you get to see in Report Builder. Just check.

keys on the tables. i.e. i had to place keys on the middle table.

report model itself. If you have completed the wizard of creating report
model. then it would have asked for keys when you select tables for
relations. So just check if all the keys are in place and deploy.

Report Model Expressions

I would like to define a new field in one of my Report Model entities, by
creating an expression that references some attributes of an entity related
by a role. Is this possible?
Also, is there a kludge I can use to handle the fact that there is no IIF
function available?

www.agile-soft.comOK, I upgraded to SP2 (CTP) and now I can get it to work, but it is still
buggy. I need to combine 3 attributes. I was able to concatenate 2 of them
with a new field definition, and add the 3rd as a column expression. When I
tried to combine the 3 in the new field definitiion, I kept getting errors.
Also, I understand that one can inject one's own expression directly into
the rdl, so I am going to experiment with that as a means of getting IIF.
