For testing purposes the P108_SERVER_ID item is a textfield (disabled, saves state). I print it out before the report region and it displays the value correctly. I can also see the correct value in the URL. I call this page from a dynamic report. The value is assigned from the dynamic report through the URL syntax. There is no page processing other than generating the report which is in the reports region, not the processing region. Thanks, I will check the APEX forum on OTN, I just thought I'd ask here... ^_^ perhaps someone met a similar issue before.

Causes for this can be various. What type of item is it? How is it's value assigned? How do you 'branch' to your region? Is page processing happening, which would assign the item (under normal circumstances).... This really is an Apex question, and you would probably be better of posting this on the Apex forum on OTN.
