Setting Paper Size To Be Default A4
May 30, 2006Hi,
I have been trying to configure the Paper Size to be default "A4" instead of "Letter".
My Report is configured to 21cm x 29,7cm and margins 1,5cm.
The Body is configured to 18cm x 26,7cm.
Everything looks fine in the Preview but the Size is always "Letter". The printers are all configured for A4 printing.
Is there a way to set these default values in the Page Setup Toolbar or is it supposed to figure it out?
Thanks,
steinar

Choose Paper Source By PDF Page Size
Jul 31, 2007Does anyone know how to get SQL Reporting Services, when it runs a report, to tell Adobe Acrobat to "Choose Paper Source by PDF page size", which is an option in the print dialog box?
When I, or a user, runs a report in Visual Studio or live:
The report is set to render on 8.5" x 14" paper (legal)
The report is exported to a PDF
The report opens in Adobe Acrobat
The report is formatted on the screen to fit 8.5" x 14" paper (legal)
When "Print" is selected, the Preview has it on 8.5" x 11" paper (letter)
If I select "Choose Paper Source by PDF page size", then it fits it to the 8.5" x 14" paper (legal)
How do I tell it to "Choose Paper Source by PDF page size"?
Automatically Print Multiple Copies Of The Same Report With Different Label On Letter Size Paper
Dec 31, 2006Hi,
I am new to reporting services and I'm really stuck on a design problem. Can someone please help me?
I would like to design my own print function. When a user clicks on the print icon (preferably the one that came with reporting services), the report is automatically printed twice, once with "For Person A" and the second time with "For Person B" on it. It doesn't matter where these two labels are placed on the page. These two reports need to be printed on letter-size paper regardless of user's selection. How do I do this with minimum amount of code?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Jan 10, 2007Dear Forum Members,
We've been working on a white paper targeting SSIS connectivity which we hope will help answer some of the key questions in the following areas :
What are the SSIS components and their support level for ADO.NET, ODBC, and OleDB?
How to deal with 64-bit connectors? what is supported, what is not?
Special sections on popular data sources such as SAP, Oracle, DB2, Flat File, XML.
A comprehensive list of data sources and available connectors from Microsoft and other 3rd parties.
You'll also find answers to why some of the things are the way they are today.
Note that this white paper is currently under official editing and publishing in Microsoft. It'll be a while before it goes public officially, but I wanted to share it with you, as the rich content it offers can't really wait. You'll find the paper in my blog, which is really a wiki site about SSIS connectivity fully open to public, so feel free to add/update content in there as you feel proper, and help the SSIS community with your wisdom!
A lot of feedback went into this white paper not only from Microsoft, but also from some of our partners and MVPs. I'd like to extend special thanks to Bob Beauschemin for authoring this challenging white paper.
Enjoy!

BPA Vs. Security Best Practices Paper
Jul 17, 2007
I would like to refer to the following technical article
SQL Server 2005 Security Best Practices - Operational and Administrative Tasks
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/sql2005secbestpract.mspx
Among best practices for SQL Server service accounts on page 8, it is recommended to 'use a separate account for each service'. I created separate account for each service as advised and assign account to relevant Windows group created for each SQL Server service during SQL setup.
Now when I run Best Practices Analyzer, its report seemed to contradict what the above article said. For example, BPA reports excerpts:
"We recommend that the service SQLBrowser on host MachineName be run under Network Service Account". I get similar recommendation for SQLSERVERAGENT account as well. Most importantly, it recommends that MSFTESQL be run under SQL Server Service Account.
Can anyone of you shed some light on it?
Thanks,

Printing To Different Paper Trays
Sep 10, 2007I'm trying to find out if there is any way I can embed anything in a report to tell it which paper tray to print to. So far, the only references I've found to such a capability are involved in using the Printer Delivery Extension. Does anyone know if this is indeed possible with that, or by any other means? Thanks!

View 2 Replies View RelatedPrint Reports On Legal Paper
Jun 30, 2006
While working in the report project in Visual Studio, I set my Report Layout to 14w x 8.5h with .25 margins on all sides, and the page size to be 13.5in (to take into account the margins). When I print from the report viewer control in Preview mode, the report prints as it should, in Landscape on Legal paper without me changing any settings.
When I deploy the same report to the report server, and print from there, the report prints in Landscape on Letter paper (which causes some columns to print on a second page).
Why is there a difference in the two environments? Is there something I'm missing?
The goal is for the users to be able to print the report correctly without having them change any print settings in the dialog.

Best Practices White Paper On Pre-Installation Server Setup
Oct 17, 2007Evening,
I am very well versed in the proper way to set up a SQL Server server prior to installation.
In this I mean, the proper process in placing your MDF, LDF and NDF(s) on seperate spindles/discs and also to place TempDB on its own spindle/disc and such.
There are numerous other points to cover in setting up the server based on memory, security, processor and such but I am sure you understand.
What I am looking for is the link(s) to the whitepapers discussing these Best Practices methodologies for pre-installation setup.
I looked on the Best Practices page but did not seem to find a doc that contains all the Best Practices that should be followed, if possible of course, in setting up a server prior to the SQL Server 2005 installation process.
Can anyone please point me to a link(s)/doc(s) that describe what I am looking for.
I need to pass this information down to other members of my team.
Thanks and have a great day!

Reporting Services :: Rdlc Print Layout Size Varies With Resolution On Surface Pro (Win 8.1 / Winforms)
Jul 17, 2014We have a winforms application with local rdlc reports. Â On Surface Windows 8 Pro devices only, reports render such that they are scaled down and don't fill the page. Â If resolution is lowered on the device, the report scales up to fill the page.
 This affects the appearance in print layout and well as the actual printed size.
If we export to pdf, it renders to fill the page (as expected). Â If you print to pdf or to printer, the scale is shrunken.
If we change the resolution settings so that "Make  text and other items larger or smaller" is set to small, the issue is resolved except the tablet is not very usable on this setting.Is this a bug?

New SQL Layout Issue.
May 15, 2008I have a form that I created that groups make and model and it totals all the fields to make 1 entry on the Layout. I then am trying to get the layout to SUM those values but it does not. For example we have 2
Make, Model, Totals
CV, P2100, 50,000
CV, P2100, 52,000
CV, P2100, 48,000
CM, R3200, 50,000
CM, R3200, 53,000
CM, R3400, 20,000
CM, R3400, 22,000
As you can see above we have 2 Makes CV and CM, with Diff models.
The code i used totals the make, model, and totals for the parts.
Results look like this.
Make, Model, Total
CV, P2100, 150,000
CM, R3200, 103,000
CM, R3400, 42,0000
I tried to use the SUM function and it takes all older totals and places that at the bottom creating a Larger value than what should be posted.
the CM total should be 145,000 and the CV would be 150,000.
Here is the code I am using for this and this parts right I am just having issues with the layout not posting the correct numbers.
SELECT equip.eqpphybr, equip.kequipnum, equip.kmfg, equip.kmodel, equip.kserialnum, equipdet.glsrc, equipdet.glamt, equipdet.gldate, equipdet.action,
CASE WHEN action = 'b' THEN glamt ELSE 0000000.00 END AS RentalBilling,
CASE WHEN action = '6' THEN glamt ELSE 0000000.00 END AS Depreciation,
CASE WHEN action = 'a' THEN glamt ELSE 0000000.00 END AS Repairs, equip.eqprecdt, equipdaily.cnvf001, equipdaily.cnvf00109, equip.eqpstatus
FROM equipdet INNER JOIN equip ON equipdet.kequipnum = equip.kequipnum INNER JOIN equipdaily ON equip.kequipnum = equipdaily.kequipnum
WHERE (equipdet.gldate BETWEEN @fromdate AND @thrudate) AND (equip.eqpstatus <> 'SO')
ORDER BY equip.kmfg, equip.kmodel
__________________________________________________________________-
For the layout its looks like this with 2 groupings.
Below is the headers in same order as the =Fields
Br,EQ#, MFG, Model, S/N, ACQ Date, ACQ Cost, Book Value, Rental Billing, Depreciation, Repairs
---------------------------------------------------------------------
(This is row 1 inserted as a group with expression =Fields!kmfg.Value)
=Fields!eqpphybr.Value, =Fields!kequipnum.Value, =Fields!kmfg.Value, =Fields!kmodel.Value, =Fields!kserialnum.Value, =Fields!eqprecdt.Value, =Fields!cnvf001.Value, =Fields!cnvf00109.Value, =SUM(Fields!RentalBilling.Value), =SUM(Fields!Depreciation.Value), =SUM(Fields!Repairs.Value)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
(This row is set as a group by =Fields!Kmodel.Value)
ACQ Cost, Book Value, Rental Billing, Depreciation, Repairs
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Totals: =SUM(Fields!cnvf001.Value), =SUM(Fields!cnvf00109.Value), =SUM(Fields!RentalBilling.Value),=SUM(Fields!Depreciation.Value) / -1, =SUM(Fields!Repairs.Value)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
(I added a row from the =Fields!Kmodel.Value to get percents.)
Depreciation, Repairs
---------------------------------------------------------------------
=IIF(Sum(Fields!RentalBilling.Value)<>0,Sum(Fields!Depreciation.Value)/Sum(Fields!RentalBilling.Value),0)/-1, =IIF(Sum(Fields!RentalBilling.Value)<>0,Sum(Fields!Repairs.Value)/Sum(Fields!RentalBilling.Value),0)
Layout Question
Jun 1, 2007We have a report that is printed landscape and contains a main table with values. Inside this table we also want to create a "sub-report" table based on two other criteria (charges and credits), but this data is still grouped with the main table. Here is a simple schematic of the report
XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX Charges
XXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXX
Credits
XXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXX
We have placed a rectangle in the last column of the main table to accomodate two other "sub-tables": one for Charges and the other for Credits. We need to keep the heighth of each row in the main table the same (without extra white space) so we cannot move the second table for Credits below the table for charges.
I hope this makes sense and anybody with any suggestions, it is appreciated.
Complex Layout
Jun 15, 2007I'm developing a system in .NET to record and manage marks for classroom attendance. To enable staff to print-out the registers, I need to output the data in a printable format. My first thought on this was to use Reporting Servcices, however there are a number of caveats.
I'm using the matrix control to handle the displaying of the students with the class dates and attendance marks. After 25 columns are output this should wrap to a new page, is this possible?
When wrapping to a new page, the first 3 columns should remain the same with the other 18 being the next lot of class dates.
There needs to be 25 rows shown, regardless of whether or not there are actually 25 rows returned from the dataset.
Essentially the layout for this is strictly controlled. Is RS the correct tool for this or is there something else I can/should use?
Example register layout
NO. STUDENT ID 01/01 08/01 15/01 22/01 29/01
1 ADAM SMITH 123456 X X X X X
2 JANE WILSON 748386 X O O X X
Table Layout
Oct 10, 2007Hey, guys
I have got problem of designing a report table. The table is created based on 5 field dataset output, student name, semester, unit name, unit code and exam mark. e.g.
StudentID Semeter UnitName UnitCode Mark
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
123456 1, 2006 Database IT001 85
123456 1, 2006 XML IT002 82
123456 2, 2006 Web Development IT003 76
123456 2, 2006 ............
etc
and there is supposed to one table for one semester and the student ID and Semester must be in the first 2 rows and all the other data is column based as normal, which is like
StudentID 123456
Semester 1, 2006
------------------------------------------------------------------------
UnitName UnitCode Mark
Database ITN001 85
XML ITN002 82
StudentID 123456
Semester 2, 2006
------------------------------------------------------------------------
UnitName UnitCode Mark
Web Development ITN003 76
I only can create the table using grouping but the layout is column based.
Does anybody know how can I design the table to achieve the above table layout.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jeff
How To: Freeform Layout
Mar 14, 2008I started the project with the goal of using 2005 Reporting Services as the reporting mechanism. Our graphic designer has created a layout that has been approved by the company and I am attempting to translate that layout to a report design that gives similar output.
I have discovered during the course of working with reports that true free from data layout is not possible. What I was expecting was the ability to design a layout for data in the body section of the report, and that layout being repeated for each row of data in the database.
I understand that tables and lists exists that allow repeated data to be displayed, but is it possible to repeat data in a custom freeform layout with 2005 Reporting Services.
Imagine if you were creating a report that looked like an ID card for each record. Would such a layout be possible with this reporting service?
If not, could someone direct me to a reporting application that does? Does Crystal Reports satisfy this requirement? I liked Reporting Services because it allowed one to design once and output into several popular formats, but the design portion doesn't appear to be as freeform as I was lead to believe.
Thanks
Report Layout
Sep 12, 2007
Hi,
When I preview my Reporting Services Report in VS2005 the report uses 2 separate pages. Even when there is very little data on Page 1 it will display something on Page 2.
How do I get all data on the one page?
Thanks.
The Layout Changes After Deployment
Aug 16, 2007I'm having a problem with my deployed reports. Once they have been deployed to a server then the layout changes and some parts of the report move around to line up with the edge of a matrix or the bottom of a table even through they do not actually overlap. The layout also changes depending on whether report items are visible or hidden, with tables moving away from hidden items but lining up witht hem when they are visible.
This also sometimes happens when moving between the layout and preview tabs in reporting services although this is not so much of a problem.
Has anyone else experienced the same problems and if so did you find a solution?
Report Layout On PDF
Sep 11, 2007I have had a lood through the forum but although folks seem to be having a lot of issues with layout I can't see a problem quite like this one.
We have a number of customer reports which need to be exported to PDF and to look quite smart. They are single page reports with things like address and customer info at the top, followed by the main report, all of which can have a variable number of rows. Then at the bottom is some supplementary information which can also vary quite substantially in size. All I want is for the main report to hug the top of the page and the supplementary one to hug the bottom of the page - and I only really care what it looks like in PDF format. The problem is that I can't seem to achieve this. As the area at the top expands the bottom section moves up and down the page. I'd be quite happy to set aside a fixed area at the bottom of the page for the supplementary report, but I can't even work out how to acheive that! You would think that the obvious answer would be to put it in to a footer, but for some reason you can't put data elements in to headers or footers (why?). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
SQL Layout View Issue
May 14, 2008I have a report that i have totaled and working correctly and I am able to get the 2 columns to sum up but I need to get those 2 sumed columns to be divided to get the gross prof %.
The columns that I have summed are
=Sum(Fields!eqpsldamt.Value)
=Sum(Fields!grosspro.Value)
I need to take those summed values and divide them but I do not know the propper syntax to do this. I thought it would have been
=SUM(Fields!grosspro.Value) / SUM(eqpsldamt.Value)
But this did not work any help would be great thanks!

Calculating Intrest In Layout.
May 19, 2008I have some old code that was used in cristal reports and thought it might help with my problem. I need this to calcuate intrest for every piece of equipment.
IF ({equipdet.ACQUIRED_DATE} < Date(2007,01,01)) THEN ({equipdet.Book Value}*(CurrentDate - Date(2007,01,01)) * .07/365) ELSE IF ({equipdet.ACQUIRED_DATE} > Date(2007,01,01)) THEN {equipdet.Book Value}*(CurrentDate - {equipdet.ACQUIRED_DATE})*
.07/365
I am just not sure how to write this in the layout view.
