Hi there,
I am using SSRS 2010, and I am trying to make an rdl to fit exactly on pre-printed paper so I need report items to occur exactly where they are located.
In the attached image , I have a header and then two rectangles (shown selected) in the body.
What is supposed to occur is products are populated in the table in the first rectangle, and everything in the bottom rectangle is supposed to stay in place regardless of how many products
occur in the top rectangle.
What is happening is that I have aligned the bottom rectangle based on a single product, but any report that contains multiple products is pushing the bottom rectangle downward and out of alignment.
My searching of this forum has shown that:
Items will push or displace each other within the rectangle.
Items will not push or displace items outside the rectangle, because they are not their peers.
Because these two rectangles are separate and not peers, I can't understand why the growth of the table in the top rectangle is pushing the second rectangle downward. I assumed the second rectangle should always stay fixed, and this needs to happen but isn't.
NB: I have made sure that any report items are located within the parent rectangle and are not behind the rectangle.
Any help would be much appreciated thanks.
