Lost Ability To Export After Print Control Install
May 21, 2007
I have a user that says that after she installed the ActiveX control for printing, that she can no longer export the reports. Has this happened to anyone else? What settings do I need to check on her machine to fix this problem?
UPDATE #2: When it said "Do you want to install Microsoft SQL Server" I said "yes" and that caused it to work. I exited and re-ran and now the print runs w/o the "install SQL Server" (If the prompt had said "Do you want to install the print dialog" we wouldn't be having this discussion...)
UPDATE: After posting this i discovered that the same thing occurs when attempting to print the report direct from IE6: First a dialog pops up "Do you want to install this software?" Name: Microsoft SQL Server. When I click "Don't Install" I get the dialog "unable to load client print control." Since this happens direct from IE6 I suspect it's browser settings. I'll resume tomorrow and post a followup.
My WinForm C# app integrates Reporting Services by calling them from WebBrowser controls. The problem is attempts to print cause a dialog: "unable to load client print control."
I've read prior posts that say "enable Active-X in your browser" - I don't know how to do that from a WebBrowser control.
Any ideas how to support Reporting Services "Print" from within a WebBrowser control?
OS: Windows XP Pro, SP2 SQL: SQL Server 2005 (Server 9.0.2047) SP1 VS: Visual Studio 2005 RTM.050727-4200 --------
After upgrading our SQL Servers to SP1 we have lost the ability to debug .net CLR stored procedures. The debugging process worked fine until we installed the Service Pack. All other features we use test out fine after the upgrade. The only and very important feature that does not work is debugging CLR procs. In fact this problem is happening in every environment we have. Be it SQL2005 running on Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2003 SP1, Window Server 2000 SP4. SQL Server remote or local on the machine doing the debugging. All 5 developer workstations with Visual Studio in virtual machines or installed on in base OS are behaving exactly the same. Every developer on our team has the exact same problem regardless of their configuration after the upgrade to the service pack 1. All developers and environments were working correctly before the upgrade.
Even building a new SQL box from scratch and installing all tools and creating a new clean database we fail with same error.
We have verified CLR Debugging is enabled for the database connection. We have dropped the connection and recreated it.
Here is an example of the output from the output window:
This is the output up to the CLR call
The thread 'sql_test2 [62]' (0x68c) has exited with code 0 (0x0). The thread 'sql_test2 [62]' (0x68c) has exited with code 0 (0x0). Auto-attach to process '[1072] [SQL] sql_test2' on machine 'sql_test2' succeeded.
Output AFTER the CLR Call
Auto-attach to process '[1072] sqlservr.exe' on machine 'sql_test2' succeeded.

We are having problems printing Reports (when printing by clicking on the AcitiveX print control), where the font for the fields are set to "C39HrP24DhTt" (barcode).
While viewing the report it displays as Barcodes but while printing, the Barcode does not get printed, but the string gets printed.
Environment: SSRS 2005
Using the ReportViewer Control in a .Net 2.0 Web App to render the reports.
BarCodes print fine in the following situations:
1. When the Report is exported to Excel and when printed from there
2. When you click on the print button on Internet Explorer
3. When saving as html (from view source) and opening that html document and printing.
BarCodes do NOT get printed in the following situation:
1. When printing by clicking on the "Print" (Active X Control) icon. Even the "Print Preview" does not show the Barcode.
I am no longer able to manage SQL Server at the server explorer in Visual studio. i.e. create, modify and delete for Diagrams, Tables, Views, Stored Procs & Functions. Further more, it missing Diagram and function folder. I can only view or read data.
Please consider enhancing SQL 2005 Reporting Services to provide the ability to disable Clickthrough Reports (Live Links) at the Report and Export Function level. Today you can only enable or disable Clickthrough Reports at the View/Model Level for all Report Builder reports.
I have a few reports that suddenly stopped printing.
Nothing changed on the report server, and one minute they could print, the other they couldn't
I have one report that is 4 pages in preview and six when it prints. The users press the print control on the web page and the print dialog comes up, they select a printer and the printing messagebox comes up. Then it will print a couple of pages VERY SLOWLY... and eventually will hang at the 3rd page.
IT appears it is just spooling in the printer control viewer...
Other similiar reports that use the same query but a different parameter, work just fine.
I have rebuilt and redployed the report. The problem is happening on both my live and test environments.
I have looked through this forum but not found an answer. I did delete and re-isntall the client print control.
I have turned the client logging on. But no errrors show up anywhere.
I am running ssrs 2005 on both machines. test machine has win2003 sp1 , sql 2005 sp2 AND hotfix's
Where or how can I download the Active X control for the client Print for the SSRS 2000. The reason is I want to push this Active X control to the clients' machines. Instead of waiting for them to download theirself who don't have permissions to do it.
When you display a SQL Reporting Services report to the screen in the header there is a Printer Icon displayed. When we click this icon we get an error message "Unable to load client print control ".
Does anyone know what we need to load or what we need to do to resolve this so that we can print the report directly to teh printer, rather than having ot prinnt the web page, which also prints all the Web headre information
We are experiencing a problem where a server report is rendered in the ReportViewer control successfully but when the user chooses to print the content, the print output is incomplete (ex. only 18 of 23 pages are printed, etc.).
This is happening consistently and has been reproduced for multiple different reports. It does not happen if the same report is printed via the Report Manager web interface.
I have also found that if I switch to Print Layout mode and then initiate the print from the ReportViewer that the problem does not occur. This is our current workaround, but it would be nice to know what is causing this and have it fixed.
Has anybody else seen this? Is this a known issue with my current version (SQLRS 2005 with SP1 applied).
I have a MS Reporting Services Report which I display in a ASPX page inside a iFrame (i.e. an other ASPX page displayed inside the main ASPX page). The report is rendered to the screen using the normal ReportViewer control.
Everything works fine, except when I click on the Print Button on the ReportViewer control, I get a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) and my computer restarts. This is something that happens every single time I click on that Print button
I am having an issue with report printing. I have used a specific font (Garamond) for all the report elements when creating the report in Bus Int. Dev. Studio. While printing from the preview pane, the report prints with the Garamond font (as intended).
But the issue is that after deployment, printing the report (with browser print control) does not print it with the Garamond font (looks like it is using the Arial or a similar font). This changes the whole look and feel of the report. I have tried printing the report from the reportserver, report manager and through URL access. All the 3 methods are giving similar results that the print output is not using the on-screen font.
Anybody else face similar issues? Is there any workaround for this? TIA.
Problem: When SSRS report is viewed in Reportviewer control in FIREFOX browser, then Print,Zoom and Search tool bar icons are not displayed.
The same problem is also seen, when SSRS report is viewed using URL in Firefox browser.
Description: When SSRS report is viewed using reportviewer control in IE browser, then All tool bar icons are displayed. Following are the Toolbar icons displayed: 1. Search. 2. Next Prev Button 3. Print 4. Zoom 5. Export
But, when the same SSRS report is viewed using Reportviewer control in Firefox browser, then following toolbar icons are not displayed: 1. Print 2. Zoom 3. Search
I would appreciate any pointers to resolve this issue.

We have recently upgraded our .Net web application from a windows 2003 server to a windows 2012 server. Since this happened users that are trying to print a reporting services report is getting the error "Unable to load client print control". We are using reporting services 2012, but the application is using the 8 version of the viewer. The reporting services server did not change only the application server. The code for the application did not change.
I have a report which I can print on legal paper, once I choose the landscape settings on print menu. When the same report is set to export to a file share in pdf format, it renders in portrait format. Is it possible to have the pdf document look like the landscape view so that the user can just hit print.

As most are aware by now, the Report Viewer controls for reporting services in 12.0 and prior rely on ActiveX to work. Â This causes compatibility issues for any non-IE browser, and as of IE11 and now Windows 10 Edge browser it's causing issues for even IE. Â Research suggests that SSRS 2014 switched out to Silverlight:
[URL]
However, Silverlight uses NPAPI which is another technology for which all browsers are ending support. Â As of this writing, Chrome has already ended support. Â Similarly/Coincidentally Java support is ending as well.
My question is, what are Microsoft's plan to restore functionality such as print/search for browsers where ActiveX/Silverlight cannot be used since this support is no longer strictly a 3rd party browser situation?
It seems the features are disabled when using any of the above because of compatibility issues with scripting/ActiveX not being properly supported by the FireFox and Chrome.
I believe the control determines the browser you are using is not IE and will not render the controls to prevent unexpected behavior because if the lack of ActiveX support. This can be seen when you compare the HTML of a page using IE8 and that of either IE11, FF, Chrome you'll see that the HTML for a zoom drop down control will show up in the IE8 browser and not in the others.
As for IE11 it presents itself as a Mozilla browser. eg: "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko" so when the control see's this it wont generate any of the controls believing the browser can't support it, even though IE11 should certainly be capable of doing so. I wanted to know if this is correct and if this is a bug?

The page mentions that the following wont be supported by other browsers The following features are not supported in third-party browsers:

I've had a VB 6 / SQL Server 2000 app running in a network enviroment for a couple of years now at a client of mine. Recently, he upgraded to the latest version of Quickbooks which installed SQL Server 2005 on the server. Now there is SQL Server 2000 and 2005 residing on the same server. My VB app still runs on the server but will not run on other machines. I can ping the server from the other machines. Has SQL 2005 taken over the port I was using or maybe has new security features that won't let me access SQL 2000 using my current connection string? Here is my current connection string: mstrConnStr = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=" & strServerLogin & ";Password=" & strServerPW & ";Initial Catalog=" & strDBName & ";Data Source=" & strServer.
Hope anyone in here can help. I have tried to install the SQL Server 5 Express, but can't seem to get it to work properly. I got a terrible name set as default for my database, as well as a terrible name for my username. I can't find a place to change this to something more manageable.
It is further set to windows auth, but trying to set it to both, and trying a username (and password) always gives me a log in error.
I've tried searching all over the net and in here for a simple tutorial, but can't seem to find one that helps me more than it confuses me.
***** The second part of the problem is that I have a java program which I want to connect to the database and use the tables in it, but I am at loss to how I can find what username (and password) I am supposed to have, what "url" it needs etc. I have the jdbc driver so that part should work, I can successfully log to other mssql databases (at work/school), but not my own.
Is it possible to suppress the output of certain report elements when the report is printed or exported? I want a particular image element that has a hyperlink to be visible when the report is viewed within RS's ReportViewer, but don't want it to show up on the printed or exported file. I figure, if this is even possible, the most obvious methods would be either:
1. Put the element in the page header or footer, then set up the page header or footer to not show up on the printed or exported report.
2. Put the element anywhere on the report, and set it to hidden when the report is printed or exported.
Are either of these possible? If not, is there another way to accomplish this?
I got this weird problem and I was wondering whether anyone has an idea of how to resolve this.
I have a working report on the RS server, ran the report and tried to print it straight from the page by clicking on the Print button.
When it printed, it gave me additional pages as though the margins were incorrect. I have additional space on the left of the report, which pushes it out towards the right (very slight but noticable) which ended up printing "blank pages" ( basically only the page header). Moreover it didn't print any of the page footers ( which has the page numbers).
The weird part is that, I tried to export it to PDF format, and when I take a look at the pdf version, it looked fine with no formatting errors. Even printing the pdf works great.
I was wondering whether there was some bug with the RS Server or do I need to do somethin with the config file ? please advise. thanks !
i have SQL 2005 reporting services. I want to control the Export behavior of report into Excel format. When user exports the report,
1. i want to add a new Worksheet(with some data) to the Excel that is expoted as default by Report viewer? 2. There is a hyperlink in the report, When user export Report to Excel, i want to add some text before hyperlink.(this text should come only in exported Excel and not in actual report.) Is it possible to do this?
Hi, This is because there are many columns need to display ,when users export to excel ,now they have to manually adjust the worksheet as one page . Therefore,as the title,can anyone help me?
I have created a report that contained a subreport that was databound inside a table but I was getting errors when I export to excel - "Subreports within table/matrix cells are ignored".
So I changed my report to bind the subreport to a list control instead of a table and it exports to excel fine but I now have new issues:
1) When I export to pdf it seems to ignore width and height properties, creating a blank page every other page (because it thinks the list control is wider than the page), and it also overlaps other elements below the list control.
2) I also seems to have lost the paging in the viewer control that is handled by setting the interactive height property.
Are these known limitations of the list control and pdf or do I have something wrong in the way I have set-up the report. I can provide .rdlc file samples if necessary.
I found this method that will remove export options from a server report when called through ReportViewer. I like this one because you dont need to have a web reference to the SQL server to loop though each rendering extension. How do you call this method if for example, if wanted to remove the XML format from a particular report? I have tried ReflectivelySetVisibilityFalse("XML"), but no luck. Any clues?
Hi, i hv made a rdl having 2 tables.My requirement is to display the tables on different sheets of excel, so i hv inserted "Page Break At End" in table1. As a result im getting tables in different sheets but second table (in sheet2) is starting from 2nd row of the sheet i.e. 1st row is coming as hidden, and i want to remove this row as client feed's this excel file in some other application. If anyone is aware of the solution pl. reply ASAP.
