Hi all,
I'm having 2 issues with my printable version report which I hope someone can shed some light.
1. The table and column widths change from page to page. I've tried changing the table and TD width properties to pixels and percentages but still the same. Settings only seem to control the first page.
2. Calculated or coded values lose their values after the first page, e.g., the search filter field displayed in the page heading. This is set in the the Before Show event of the page heading.
Has anyone else experienced this? I'm not sure where to look but it seems that after the first page, the printable version of the report has a life of its own! Any advice is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Karen

Try setting the column widths in the TD between Begin Detail and End Detail

Thanks for your tips. Although it does not apply to me as I don't have a detail section, it gave me the idea to try the width setting on different parts. And I've found that I needed to set 2 things:
1. Table width - I set to 100% and I needed to do it in 2 places, one at the beginning (just after Begin Report) and one after the page break (inside the Pagebreak Panel)
2. Column width - I set the first column to 20% so it won't shrink/grow depending on the length of text there and the rest of the columns 'behaved' as they were numeric
On that note, how do I force the text in the columns to wrap?
As for my 2nd issue of calculated/coded values disappearing after the first page, I've discovered something but I'm still testing so will report back.
