SQL Server Forum / Services / Reporting Services / September 2005Unable to format COLUMNS
However, I have tried on several occasions to get help with columns and no one is able to assist me in understanding how columns work in Reporting Services 2005. Could someone provide me with a basic understanding how to setup columns for mailing list? Or, is there a website, technical documents or white papers online etc. that anyone could point me to for a greater understanding how columns are used? Our China International office have an immediate need for this mailing list. Again, the columns will be used for displaying/printing mailing labels. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Hi Terry Under SRSS 2K SP2, mhtml rendering is 'funky'. I can look at the preview under VS.NET, export as (pdf/preview/etc.), etc. and all is great. BUT, I have shifting many times in the 'View' from the Report Manager when the report is legal sized, has alternating colors on the detail lines, etc. 'As a drill' and IF you have MS Access: 1. Create a mailing label report 2. Import it into VS.NET 3. Deploy it (does it print/line-up the way you wanted?) If #3 works out, use this as a template for programatically doing what needs to get done. Rob PS Have SP2 applied (if you are running 2K), so as you have a print button were you have greater control of the printing. > However, I have tried on several occasions to get help with columns and no > one is [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Your assistance is greatly appreciated. After I replied the first time, 'it sunk in'.... (I think...) Are your trying create a 'snaking report'. Print ascending in column#1, wrap to column#2 on same page, etc.?

I am trying to create a 'snaking report'. Please help! > After I replied the first time, 'it sunk in'....

(but not really) since I've never done one with SRSS. can u try to create 1 in Access and import (and see how intelligable it imports). seems to be good so far (except it will not do a vertical alignment for labels like access).
