Most likely, if you use data reduction, the values that your bookmark selects, do not exist in the data because of data reduction.

Less common - if you use OMIT, the field in which you select may be removed as well by section access.

Ah. it must be the first thing. Is there a way to work around it? Different users will have more or less of a bookmark.

I'm not sure what can be done - and what the expectation should be. For example, you have a field "color" with values 'red', 'green', and 'blue'. Bookmark is expected to select color='red'. Now, a particular user can see only color 'blue' - what the bookmark can do? It tries to select 'red', which doesn't exist for this user.

In my opinion, "bookmark doesn't" work is the correct and expected behavior in this case (?).

That i get.

But in my case the bookmark is blue AND red, so when the user access the application the only color he/she will se is blue although the bookmark wants to shows more.

Tricky. thanks anyway! i have to think of another work around i guess.
