ssrs textboxes within rectangles are floating/move

  • I am having two problems with rectangles in an SSRS 2008 r2 report.

    In an SSRS 2008 r2 report, I want to use the Rotate270 writing mode option. This works fine in visual studio, but when it runs

    in the report server the font is bold. This is a known report problem.

    To solve the problem, within each textbox of a matrix, I do the following:

    a. insert a rectangle, and

    b. insert another textbox and set writing mode=Rotate270 on the new textboxes.

    The problem with what I described above, is that the textboxes that were placed into each rectangle do not stay at the original

    location. The textboxes float (move) within each rectangle as other changes are being made to the report over time. I want the

    original location of the textboxes to remain in the same location. I am under the impression that items within rectagles do not

    move. If this is true, what do I set in a rectangle to keep the textbox it contains from moving?

    So far to solve the problem, I put a rectangle around all 4 matrixes in the SSRS 2008 r2 report. This is ok, but I can not edit

    anything in the SSRS report at that point. I have to remove the rectangle that surrounds all 4 matrixes on the SSRS report so I

    can make any changes to the SSRS report.

    Thus can you tell me how to solve the following problems with the rectangles:

    1. How to keep items within each rectangle from floating?

    2. How to edit items within an SSRS 2008 r2 report if the entire report is contained within one rectangle?

  • found answer

  • What was it? (Sorry, that's just how I learn!)
