I'm having a relatively big issue with printing my check report. The report continues, time after time, and regardless of the margins I choose for the report, to be displaced an additional 1" up from the bottom of the page. The printing method is through our newly designed application which sends the emf rendering to the printer. We have gone through the liberty of modifying the actual print document in VB with margins set at 0,0,0,0 (L, R, T, B) and have paid close attention to the printer's maximum printing area. We have come to the conclusion that the problem is coming from reporting services. In addition to the extra margin space on the bottom of the page, there is also a slight yet noticeable shrinking of the page. Despite the fact that those are trade symptoms of another issue after the emf rendering we have modified every possible function of the printdocument and printer settings. So we continue to push the question, is this reporting services? We are fairly certain. I'm asssuming this is a bug in SSRS 2005, yet, I have yet to hear of any similiar case. This is our VS version info just incase:

I'm planning to talk to MS if nobody recognizes these symptoms. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
UPDATE (12/20/2007 1:43:07 pm):
We have made a small break-through discovery. We found that that if we convert our report using a pdf rendering that the additional 1 inch added to the bottom margin is no longer there. So, pdf rendering would be an option if we became more desperate. However, this is too time consuming and we would much rather have the report directly sent to the print spooler instead of loading then spooling. Does anybody know what is going on with this apparent conflict between SSRS 2005 and our emf renderer?
I'm a new SQL Reporting user and could use some guidance.
Here is a simple explanation of my application: imagine a report which prints out a grade report for each of 10 students. Depending on how many notes a teacher makes on the student's individual grade report, each student's report might be 1 or 2 pages long.
To create this report I just used a List report item and laid out a typical grade report and filled in the appropriate fields (name, teacher, etc.) from my dataset query.
When I run the report, it is running great and the students and their grade reports all print out.
The problem I am running into is I want to make sure each student's name is on page 2 if the grade report for that student goes more than 1 page (so pages aren't separated from each other or mixed up). I tried using a Report Footer, but that just put the first student's name at the bottom of every page. I could put a textfield at the bottom the list control but that would just appear at whatever length page 2 ended up being (basically you could have a "footer" at mid-page if the whole list only took up 1.5 pages).
How can I create a footer for each set of pages? Basically this would be a "footer" to the list control itself.
Relative newb to SSRS here, but the answer to this question evades me; answers and insight are appreciated.
Report in question is an invoice form. It requires an absolutely bottom-of-page aligned footer that has databound elements.
This is so that whatever page that footer finally appears on will print in such a way that the address will align in a windowed envelope.
Ironically, Books Online gives this exact scenario in explaining headers and footers in SSRS, but they cleverly don't explain how an absolutely bottom-of-page-aligned and data-bound footer can be made to happen. Headers at absolute page top is obviously no problem. Footers at page bottom, not so much.
So, this is not a "page footer"--page footers are employed in the body. Also this footer is databound, so a page footer as it's known in SSRS is out the window anyway.
Most of the time this will print on a single page, but if it breaks to multiple pages, that footer needs to go all the way to the absolute bottom.
I grasp that the "report footer" for SSRS is just what appears at the end of any repeating controls that you've implemented in your body. Because SSRS uses this kind of repeating-control based idiom rather than a section-based idiom as Crystal does, this kind of (what I would consider very basic) positioning control is looking fairly impossible right now.
Among what I've tried:
--Page footer (can't; databound)
--Specifying a page break after the pre-footer controls, and/or a page break before the controls that make up the footer in their properties. This leads to unpredictable results with blank printed pages (as many as 8 for what previews as a 2-page report, how silly is that?).
--Putting in a page-height rectangle as part of the footer (with and without the page breaks mentioned above), with the idea of forcing a basically blank page at the end of the report so that the footer will go to the bottom. SSRS will go ahead and break the page anyway on long elements like that, which again leads to the "footer" being printed in the middle or top of the final page, or whereever it happens to fall.
I may be having to explain to my client that you can't get there from here, and they may have to redesign their report. Does anyone have any insight?

We have the customer requirement to display the footer of a SSRS Report fixed at the absolute bottom of a DIN A4 format page. The footer contains information like company address and stuff.
I searched quite a while on this topic and only found workarounds for SQL Server 2005 with Custom Code in the SSRS Report to calculate the size of the body content and then insert some empty lines to get the space needed to push the footer to the bottom of the page. But this won't work in SQL Server 2012. And I wasn't able to figure out how to achieve this yet.
I am printing my reports from my local report viewr, and the margins are off by just a little bit. It looks like printing shifts the contents of the report 1/8 inch to the right, borking the margins.
Report body is 7" wide Margins are .75" inch on all sides Print Preview mode displays the report properly, centered Output is similarly skewed on all printers (tried 4) This is using the VS SP1 version of the RS dll's. However, when I print the report I get it shifted to the right by 1/8 inch. This leaves me with a 7/8" margin on the left, and a 5/8" margin on the right.
Setting the margins to Left: 0.625, Right: 0.875 (5/8&7/8) actually causes it to print centered, so I know it is paying attention. When I do this, the print layout mode shows the contents shifted to the left 1/8", as expected.
I assume that people print using this control, or at least it was tested, so has anyone else seen this or is it a confirmed bug?
Some power users who may or may not write good SQL for their reports have been given the ability to place their reports directly into production. I would like to receive an email notifiction (either triggered by the report being added or via sql job that runs daily) that let's me know when a new report has been added.
I put a function in the code section of Report Properties. I went to add an expression and can't find the function. I type =code. and did not see the function I created in the list.
Here's my code below:
Code Snippet Public Function ConvertToStartDate(ByVal StartDate As String) As DateTime Select Case StartDate Case "Today" Return DateTime.Today Case "Yesterday" Return DateTime.Today.AddDays(-1) Case "30DaysOut" Return DateTime.Today.AddDays(+30) Case "2DaysPrior" Return DateTime.Today.AddDays(-2) ' Additional cases Case Else Throw New ArgumentException("Unknown argument, " & StartDate, "StartDate") End Select End Function
I should be able to put in expression =code.ConvertToStartDate.StartDate("Today"), but that does not work. I get a red squiggly line under StartDate.
This is all a generated query apart from the filter. If I change the @RegionParam back to its old constant value (which was 'Europe') then the fields appear again. I've set up the Query Parameters to cope with @RegionParam and also put a Report Parameter in the Layout page that uses it.
I'm lost as to why the fields don't appear with the parameter in there...
A space was added as the first character of the contents in the Left, Center and Right section of the Report Header and Footer exported to Excel. Example :
In the RDL, Header values are:
Left = "Product Report" ; Center = "Confidential" ; Right = "Page n of n"
In the exported report to Excel, Header properties (-->File.-->Page Setup--> Header/Footer Tab) are:
Left = " Product Report" ; Center = " Confidential" ; Right = " Page n of n"
I would like to have a parameter on my report to Select by Order_Taken_By. My attempt at that is here:
Dataset called OrderTaken:
select distinct SO_Header.Order_Taken_By from SO_Header Under the report Parameter Properties named @Order, under Available Values Selected "Get Values from a query"
I have DataSet: OrderTaken
Value Field: Order_Taken_By Label Field: Order_Taken_By
The values of the field Order_Taken_By is all text characters, no integer values.
Running the inital Query by itself yields results. When I add the parameter, I can make a selection, but now I get no results, even though there should be values for the choice I've chosen.
When working on this report on my local machine, the left and right margins are set to .25. The fields and fieldheaders were not wrapping. After I deploy it, the margins are increased or the tables are resized and this causes the fields and field headers to wrap. What could be causing this. Is it Setting on the server?
When running a SSRS 2005 Report on local machines (running Windows XP) A certain Textbox Label is not wrapping and is sized with .25 inch blank spacing at the end of the text. When running thru a datadriven Subscription this label is wrapping to next line on the PDF file that is produced.
We went to the SSRS 2005 server( Windows server 2003) and opened the report and it shows this label wrapping and the text is not fitting in the label box. But on every client box that we open this report on it shows it not wrapping. Is there a setting on the Server that we need to set for this report to render correctly.
I am hoping there is an easy way to fix this. I have a report defined 8.5" x 11.0" with .5" Margin's all around. I am using the WinForms Report Viewer Control (doing Server side reports). It looks like the viewer is taking the left margin and adding it to the right margin. So you get large amounts of white space on the right of the viewer. This requires me to make the viewer way larger than it needs to be to get rid of the ugly Horizontal Scroll bar.
What I want is either don't show the margins until you print (removing the margins from the RDLC file does nothing), or have the left margin white space belong on the left side.
Why is this happening? And how can I fix it? Thanks!
Hello. I have a report but by default it prints Portrait and 1.0inch Margin. I would like to programmatically set the values of my report to 0.2 inch margin and Landscape. I am using RDLC (Local Report). Does anyone has an idea how to achieve this?
A problem has cropped up where my reports that I set with a .5 inch margin (all around) for an 8.5x11 layout are shifting the left margin by .25 to .75 in leaving a .25 inch margin on the right. This happends using mutiple reports printed to variuos printers on mutiple machines. I'm fairly certain that at one point the margins were beging honored. I found the following link that addresses this problem and claims visual studio 2005 sp1 fixed it.
I'm also having another problem in report designer when I use the previewer. I need to tell it to print twice before it prints. This also was supposed to be fixed on SP1.
I've check visual studio and it does state that it has SP1 installed. Any thoughts?
I need to calculate “NET_SALES” and “MARGIN_PERCENT” for each month of the current year … the following returns the same values for each month in the list, which are for the current month. Taking out the GROUP BY line works fine for an overall number.
When I insert a row of data into a table via a stored procedure, the row SOMETIMES gets inserted at the bottom, and sometimes gets inserted at another random location (top, midding, etc). I am using Microsoft SQL Server.
Dea anybody know the cause of this? Or how to ensure that the row gets inserted at the bottom?
I am a novice SQL Server user, but this seems like a simple problem that the more advanced users solved long ago. Thanks in advance!

I know the function of being able to set a section of a report to print at the bottom of the page, but does anyone know any work arounds for this? I have a main report (statement) which ive done a work around, to include the details i need at the bottom of the page into the footer, but then i have a second report (invoice) that needs to be included as subreport, which also needs infomation at the bottom of the page, but as its a subreport, sql reports does not allow for footer/header infomation in a subreport.
Unfortuantly i can not split the two reports out as they need to be printed together.
Any help/recomendations would be greatly received.
How can you set the text direction to BT-RL 'bottom to top' in SRS? There is control for TB-RL but not BT-RL. Need this for SRS label printing application.
Hello all, I'd like to know if anyone has been able to get SQL Server 6.5 to send mail to a MAPI mail server other than Exchange. I would like to implement this functionality so that my group and I can better monitor the results of backups and other scheduled tasks but we do not have Exchange within our site. We currently use Netscape's mail server so it would be GREAT if someone with this knowledge could reply with any tips or URLs or whatever. Just something to get me heading in the right direction. Thanks for your time.
I keep getting extra space at the bottom of each page on my report when it is deployed to the web server but I don't get this extra space on the report server. Does anyone know if this is in the report layout or if the problem is in the web page itself?

There are no rows in the current fetch buffer.
