I want to display date & time or LOGO at the right top corner of the report.
I have kept them at the corner, it works fine then.
But when am using subreport, the report width increases and the logo is coming in the center
I want to make it at the corner even when the report width changes in the run time.
Can any one suggest me in this regard?
Thanks in Advance.

The way I've accomplished this has been to create a text box that spans the entire length of your header. Then right align the text. This does 2 things, when you export the report to excel it gets around much of the cell merging problems and always puts the date in the proper place. Also, you might need to adjust the layout of your main report to appropriately size it so the subreport fits. Make sure you are only using a margin in one report, either the subreport or the main report as well. this can help to contribute to your issues with sizing.

Thanks Luke.

I increased the width of the main report to subreports for time being. But am in search of the standard format to keep the logo at the top end.

If any one come know the answer let me know 🙂

thanks in advance.

We need to mention the location details exactly in inches over there.

But, I dont want like that as I dont know the report wdth or height.

Programtically, if the report width increses automaticaly the logo should go to the end of the report.

Deepthi.

What I've found that works nicely is to first embed your logo in an image field (doesn't matter where it is on the report because you're not going to leave it.).

Delete the image field.

Now click inside your report header or if you have a header row where you want the logo to appear, click that. Now in the properties pane, find the background image section. Choose embedded, then you should be able to find your image when you click the next field down which is value. Now in the next field down, select the no repeat option.

Please note that this only aligns the logo left, so if you need it on the right side of the report, you would have to play around with that.

I hope this helps - I do know it avoids the overlapping elements warning I got with using an image floated over a text box.

Then put it in the right most cell of your table where your table header is located. There are always hacks and work arounds.
