I have a report, with 220 records, each row heigth varies. I have set the option to repeat header on every page on. However, when I print the report, the header prints on some pages, and some it does not. For eg, on the 5 page reprot, it prints the header on pg 1, 2 and 3. Then on pg 4 it does not, then again page 5 it prints the header.
I'm having 2 issues on my first "real" SSRS report. 1. How to do a print preview via the preview tab. For print rendering, I have no print preview button on the preview toolbar. Is this normal? MS documention said that there is a Print Preview button. (BOL May 2007 - Designing & Creating reports -> working with report designer -> debugging and Publishing reports (Print Preview)) This report will always be rendered via the printer and it is a "pain" to have to always print it to see changes. The print layout option comes up all black with nothing viewable.
2. How do I reset page numbers back to 1 for report groups? I see no option for this. My report group requires a new page and I want page numbering to start at 1 when the grouping changes.
Note: I'm running VS2005 via Vista (with VS2005 Vista fix installed). SQL2005 SP2 also installed.
Any advice on this will be appreciated. I've spent too much time already where this should be obvious.
I have a report which runs for last 12 months data. Since this is going to be last 12 months the column headers change every month. How can we implement this with dynamic column headers in the dataset?
I have created a new report & add a table to it. When I select "Tablix Properties" and check on Columns Headers -> "Repeat Cheader columns on each page" the header columns do not repeat on each page. I also tried "Repeat header rows on each page". "Add page break before" seems to work ok. I am using VS 2008 9.0.30729.1 SP..I also tried deploying but it still does not work on the deployed version.
but I can't figure ou how to "remove" the RSClientPrint Class add-on in IE 6.
P.S. Why does something as simple as printing need to be an ActiveX control? There are all kinds of issues revolving around pushing this out using SMS for users without local admin permission.
1. We have been using Sql Server 2008 R2 and its reporting services engine.
In the application we used Report Viewer (version 9).
When the report is taken for the first time, couple of messages pops up.
a. Unable to Load print control b. Install Sql Server Reporting Services 2008 R2.
These messages are fine, but we noticed that the second message is not consistent. When the application is deployed in staging server which is as same as the production server except for the power (CPU, RAM), the second message is "Install Sql Server 2008". Why is this happening?
2. To support IE 11, we upgraded the Report viewer to version 11. Now the messages are different.
a. Printing is not available. Verify that ActiveX is enabled or try using IE from the desktop b. Install Sql Server Reporting Services 2008 R2. (Here again when deployed in staging server it says "Install Sql Server 2008").
We have a requirement that on some reports, like details on a specific inventory item, we need to print with the report and external attachment like a word document, and auto cad drawing, or a picture.
Some of the ideas we are thinking of are:
adding the links to the external documents in a report parameter and then, when the report is about to be printed, get the values and send the documents to the print queue just after we send the report to the print queue. Creating a custom control on the report to somehow stream the file to the print queue when the report is printed. Render the report to a pdf and programmatically send the pdf and other attachments to the report queue.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this or, even better, some code that meets the requirements.
Paper is 21cm x 9cmPrinter is Epson LX-300..When I set this paper size, SSRS turns orientation to landscape and prints as if clockwise right rotated!I tried creating custom paper on print server options without success. I also tried setting the same paper size in Report Builder and Print Server but failed again.
I'm using SQL Server 2008 SP3 with Reporting Services 2008 SP3.
By opening my web application in IE9 and running report, i can print and show then print preview by clicking the "Print preview" button in printing dialog.
By opening my web application in IE11 and running report, i can print the report but if I click on the print preview on the print dialog nothing appears... Why?
In a new ssrs 2008 report that uses sql server 2012, I am suppose to create a report that prints on both sides of the same paper. The first side of the report will display custom data with a mailing address for the customer.
The second side (back side of the paper) will contain generic information. The second side of the paper will contain areas for the users within my large company to fill out and return to the user via inter-office mail.
Thus my question is can this happen in an SSRS 2008 report to print in a PDF and/or Word document on both sides of the paper? If this is possible would you tell me if the paper needs to be exported to PDF, Word, or if this can on both format(s)? If so, any reference how to accomplish this goal?
If this is not possible in SSRS 2008, is printing on both sides of the paper possible in ssrs 2008 r2 or ssrs 2012?
What version of ssrs report would work, and if the print (export) needs to be a PDF, Word, or either format?Â
This is a really strange problem. There are some reports that work fine when I click the print button provided by the Report Manager but trying to print the report by clicking on print button located by the export causes my computer to reboot. Is there a resolution?
The report can be successfully printed if exported to pdf.
Is there a support of printing report with matrix that is set to RTL (LayoutDirection) which displays in ReportViewr control with property RightToLeft set to RightToLeft.Yes in DisplayMode = PrintLayout.
The report looks fine in the report viewr in DisplayMode = Normal, but when goes to PrintLayout, it seems that the left data on page is rendered first.
Example: This is the display of the report viewer, I would like to print the columns by the same order it displays here:
And this is the result when clicking Print Preview: the first page displays the data of the last columns and if i go to the last page (page 9) i will see the data of the first column as displays in the previous gif, I don't have a clue why?
Is there a property that can be set to force the print layout to render RTL. Anyway, it seem to me as a bug since the Report Viewer displays the data correctly and renders the data RTL as expected.
I am creating a report in SSRS which has the following criteria:
- Row 1 (parent) is 'Product'
- Row 2 (child) is  'Feed'
- Columns are date. Â I have 5 dates showing at any one time across the top. Â The date field is set up as a parameter so depending on the date the user selects, the report will show that date on the end column and then the 4 days prior to that in the other columns. Â Â
 - Data is the number of records.
I have a sub total on the Product and the report is collapsed on Product as default.
What i'm stuck on is trying to insert a column at the very end that will show the variance between the last two dates. Â So the difference between the date the user selected (@date parameter) and the day before that.Â
I have created  web based  ssrs report with Report viewer  and I am trying to add Command button to print result of report reside in ReportViewer and I have worked with  code to generate. Is there any other way to work around without writing function or java script  on Extra print button to print  ssrs report.

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?

Hi, this is probably a simple question but I just can't figure it out. I'm using SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 sp1.
I'm trying to design a report that displays a particular embedded image on the first page, and then a different one on every subsequent page. I.e full, fancy company logo on the first page, and a trimmed down version on every other. In Crystal, I would have simply used the Report Header and Page Header sections to achieve this - easy.
However, in SQL Reporting Services, there is only a Page Header section - therefore whatever I place in the Page Header shows on every page. Now, I know how to stop it displaying on the first page, but I don't know how to display the other image instead.
I read in a support forum that it is possible to do this by "placing report items above or below your data regions" but I can't get it to work.
I'm wondering how to print a SSRS report without bringing up a report viewer. Is there way to print(PDF format) the SSRS report in the web application(Â .net ) Â directly from the "print" button without bringing up a report viewer?
Does anyone know of a link or list that has all the parameters for the "rs:" section of the URL access parameter, except for the ones in the Microsoft books?
Is it possible to write SSRS 2008 reports to run on an existing SSRS 2005 server?
If yes, what do I need to do to be able to write SSRS 2008 reports on my developer PC that will run on the SQL 2005 Server (which also has SSRS 2005 installed on it)?
I installed Visual Studio 2008 beta on the development PC and it appears that it needs SSRS installed on it too. So I installed SQL 2008 SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) and SQL 2008 Workstation Components onto the developer PC. Next I run the SQL 2008 "Reporting Services Configuration" tool. When I click on the "Web Service URL" section it hangs indefinitely and I have to force it closed.
The developer PC is Windows Vista Business.
Any suggestions on making this work, or any other information that you can think of that would allow me to use Visual Studio 2008 and the SQL 2008 "Report Designer Preview" tool to develop SSRS reports that will run on the SQL 2005 SSRS server?
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.
This is a very bizzare one. I have installed SQL many times and never had this problem. I had a user self install SQL 2005, as it turns out, he installed the wrong components, so a co-worker uninstalled it for him. We followed the support doc for the uninstall, because we had errors when tried to remove it.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909967
After, we were able to re-install (we installed this time via the command line), but for some odd reason we have completely lost the ability to print to ANY network printer. I didn't think this was possible, but I tried it on my machine and now I too am unable to print!
A couple of details:
Both machines:
XP-SP2 HP dx7400 Printers: a variety of HP Networked Printers (can't print to any) I have added and removed the printers multiple times and tried adding via a local port... no luck There is no error in the event log If I try to print a test page, I get an error box that says "Test Page Failed to Print"
Since there are no real errors for the print issue, I am struggling to find a solution. Has anyone ever seen this??
I'm a developer at a medium-sized installation using ReportServer 2005. There's a problem that occurs for some users and not others. After the ReportServer 2005 report has been generated, the user clicks the Print icon. The print dialog comes up; when they click the OK button on the Print dialog, the screen goes black and their machine reboots.
We've then gone to install the latest Microsoft updates on their machine, to no avail.
After the reboot, they can print from, e.g., Microsoft Word or other applications, but they crash the OS when they print from the ReportServer 2005 report.
I know the first time you print from ReportServer, it installs some software on your machine. I don't know if the problem is related to this.
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?
I am basically new as far as SQl server 2005 concern. I want to try out reporting services provided by sql server 2005. That is make report using sql server 2005 and call that report from web or window application.
Please guide me in doing so or give me some useful link. Thanks
I'm looking to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 (Standard Edition). I'm interested in using SSIS, SSRS and SSAS. I hear that BIDS runs inside of Visual Studio 2005, and comes with the SQL 2005 software. I currently have VS 2003. My question is: Do I need to purchase anything besides SQL Server 2005 Standard, or do I need to buy anything separately, like VS 2005? (if so, which version would you recommend?)
I have installed SSRS and is trying to run it from the client machines. I am getting this error below. NOTE: If you run the SSRS Report Manager on the server it runs fine. Reporting Services Error
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Get Online Help
Cannot create a connection to data source 'Clearview'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection) Get Online Help

I have setup a local administrative user on their web server called €˜cv_report€™ and setup the virtual directories to run under this account anonymously. I have also confirmed that cv_report the SQL user exists and is part of the correct roles. How do you relate the Windows €˜cv_report€™ account and the SQL €˜cv_report€™ account €¦ just via the name? I even tried changing the Data source for the TEST config which was setup to use Windows NT Authentication and I switched it to use the cv_report account. It still didn€™t work.

Is it possible to connect SSRS running on SQL Server 2005 enterprise edition (our production system) to a database running on SQL Server 2005 Developer's edition (our test system)
