Different Font Size When Browsing And Printing A Report ?
May 3, 2007
Hi all,
Is it possible to setup different font size when a user is browsing or printing a report?
I have a lot of data to print on a report and i need tu use a font size of 7pt which is fine for printing but when the user is looking at the report on the browser a font size of 7pt is a bit too small and the bold doesn't work.
I seem to remember that the font size and type can be controlled in SQL Server 6.5 and the process controlls the fonts displayed throughout the program - Enterprise Manager, Query Tool, etc.
I have just re-installed 6.5 and the fonts are way too small.
So I have been asked by our sustainability person to create report from our printing data that actually shows the number of pieces of paper used. This is easy enough for single-sided printing, but when printing in duplex the software does not take into account that 3 printing pages actually equates to 2 pieces of paper. I know this sounds simple, but say I have a print job record that looks like this:
This is a print jobs that if done correctly is actually 21 pages( duplex printing). If the job is say total_pages =5 I cant just divide by 2 because its actually using 3 pieces of paper ( yes they are wanting this data don't ask why). How can I adjust some sql to accurately depict 5 pages, front and back, as 3 pieces of paper?
I have deployed a report that is configured for landscape printing. It does print in landscape, however, only the first seven columns appear on the first page and the other five columns appear on the next page. Is there a method, like in print preview setup in MS Excel, where we can scale down the print (like to 80%) so all columns appear on each page?
I am trying to store RichTexBox information, such as the formating of the paragraph, color, font and etc. Is that possible to store this kind of information in Sql Server 2005 Compact Edition without stripping down the properties one by one?
I am trying to store a sentence which contain of multiple color or font for different words. Is there anyway to store those information?
Is there any possibility to have the Defaultvalue of a Parameter in Bold fonts and rest of it as Default parametervalue=Defaultvalue ,"Bold","Default".So for example in drop down of parameter if the C is the current value it would look like this:
The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database. A connection to the database is required for all requests and processing. (rsReportServerDatabaseUnavailable) Get Online Help
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)

While browsing ReportServer I am getting the above error please help me on this regard.

I had developed my reports using SQL 2005 reporting service. While crerating the report i set the page size to 8.27in Width x 11.69in Height. I am calling this report in my aspx pages using report viewer.
But the problem is I can't able to set the size of the page to A4 size. When i set the size of the page to A4 while printing the page is divided into two pages.
Is there any way to override the print option in reportviewer where we can set the page size to A4 ?
I used a textbox with strikethrough font in my report. In preview, the report has that font and also in Print. But exporting to PDF has no strikethrough font. (Export to excel has this font). Can anybody help to resolve this.
It appears to work fine on my end however on my clients end, whenever they try to print a report that displays perfectly within the report viewer to their printer by selecting the printer button in the report it never ends up printing.., however if they go into printer setup and change the page range to print from all pages to just maybe one page and then select the print button it seems to print fine..
The printer seems to receive the information as the light flashes but no page kick out when all pages is selected to print..
I installed Postscript fonts on my local machine and they show up in the font dropdown for Office applications, but when I open a report in Visual Studio 2005 report designer, the Postscript fonts do not display in the font dropdown. How do I get the new fonts to be accessible in the report designer?
I have a reporting viewer in a windows form that behaves very strange. When I open the form and run the report it shows up nicely in the report viewer. If I print the report it only prints one page. When i print the report a second time the whole report is printed. Next I'll change the report parameters and run the report, then it shows up nicely in the viewer, but when I print the report the first report is printed.
Hi, I am having problems printing a new table we added to an existing report. When I preview the report in Visual Studio everything looks good. But when I click the print layout view button the "header" portion of the report shows on one page and the detail shows up on another. Has anyone seen this happen before?

I have a field on a Group Footer which is a Sum field based of an IIF statement.
Here it is.
=Sum(IIF(Fields!EXPR1.Value=2 and Fields!Type.Value=1,Fields!Quantity.Value,0))
If I do not use the AND, by by only checking on one field it works fine and it returns a result, however if I use the AND Operator I get the #Error when previewing the report.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening. Any suggestion would help/

I am running SSRS 2005, rendering reports locally using a report viewer. Rather than direct the viewer to an .rdlc file, I use an XMLDocument. A few of my reports have a large image in the background that needs to be invisible when the report prints. This was straightforward - I just use a report parameter and set the visible state of the image to the value of the parameter. The hard part is getting the report to print without an error.
Initially, I render the report with the following code:
End Sub This code works fine. I have hidden the print button on the report viewer, and to print, the user must press my button which runs the following code. Private Sub PrintReport()
Try _Param(0) = New Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportParameter("ImageVisible", "False") ShowReport()
ReportViewer1.PrintDialog()
Catch ex As Exception MsgBox(ex.ToString) End Try
End Sub Resetting the parameter and re-displaying the report works fine on its own. The PrintDialog method works fine on its own. When combined in the same Sub like this, I get the following error: "Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object". Does anyone know how I could get it to print without an error? I would be very grateful for any help.
I am rendering the report from remote server and I am displaying it. when I try to print the report from my application it is printin properly. but when I try to print it from IIS it is showing an error message that "No printers are Installed ". I did not specify any printer name in my application. How can I resolve this problem.

I have a report that only has one page when previewed but when it's printed there are two pages. This is a problem because I get two printed pages to my report with "1 of 2 pages" on the first page and "2 of 2 pages" on the second but there is only data on the first page and the second has header and footer but no data.
Is there a way to force the report to fit everything on one page? Or some other setting I am missing?

I have e-mails saved in a SQL database with all HTML formatting information. To remove all HTML formatting I craeted a function on the RS report:
Public Shared Function removeHtmlChar(ss) try Dim l as integer Dim i as integer Dim ch as string Dim x as integer Dim t as string t = "" l=len(ss) for i=1 to l ch=mid(ss,i,1) x=i if(ch="<") then x=i do while(mid(ss,x,1)<>">") x=x+1 loop else t=t & ch end if i=x next t = t.Replace("nbsp;"," ") removeHtmlChar = t catch removeHtmlChar = "" end try End Function
When I look at the report on the screen the report is showed correct. If I print or export the report it add a lot of line breaks in the e-mail text. Why does it not print it as it looks at the screen?
We have a report that prints correctly (in landscape) in the folder that is deployed to but the linked report in a different folder prints in portrait?
I have report with a table, that generates rows to more than 1 page. When the user prints the report, each page should show the table header. Presently or by default , the table header is shown(printed) only on the first page.
I need to create address labels from report builder. I can create the same from report designer using list box and text boxes. But not able to create the same from report builder as it is supporting only one layout - table (Columnar) for table type. Can any one help me to place the filelds in row wise rather than column wise.
SUBREPORT (License info to the right) SHOULD PRINT TO RIGHT OF ADDRESS INFORMATION ON LEFT. LIKE THIS...
Name ABC-12345 Address line 1 DEF-12345 Address line 2 GH1-12345 City, State Zipcode
The data is from one table and looks like this. Both the main report and subreport use a shared data souce.
Name Address line 1 City State Zipcode License ------------- ------------------- ------------- --------- ---------- --------- Joe Schmoe 123 Maple Street Clearwater Florida 33777 ABC-12345 Joe Schmoe 123 Maple Street Clearwater Florida 33777 DEF-12345 Joe Schmoe 123 Maple Street Clearwater Florida 33777 GHI-12345
All lines are header lines. Subreport has been placed in top header line. IT IS PRINTING SIMILAR TO THIS BUT SHOULD PRINT AS FIRST STATED ABOVE...
Name ABC-12345 DEF-12345 GH1-12345 Address line 1 Address line 2 City, State Zipcode
ISSUE: I would like the subreport to PRINT ALONG WITH the address information to its left. In Crystal Report a subreport could "Underlay Following Sections" - a wonderful feature Microsoft maybe should have copied. Is there a way to duplicate "underlay" behavior in SQL Reporting ? Thanks.
UPDATE: Coworker found workaround. Can concatenate Name, Adress line 1, Address line 2, City, State and Zipcode into one field. Would still like to know a more straightforward way.
