Border around group of textboxes

sql server reporting services: Hi- I'm trying to enclose a group of textboxes by a border, essentially a VB
groupbox or panel. I've tried using both a rectangle and text box object with
a border to accomplish this. When you preview it looks right; however, when
the report is rendered, the html generates a separate table with a border
then all the textboxes below it. How can I get the html to render properly?
Thanks

HTML does not support overlapping reportitems, they will get pushed around.
It sounds like you don't want overlapping reportitems, but you want the
textboxes being contained inside the rectangle.

You can achieve this by using drag-and-drop in report designer to drop the
textboxes into the rectangle - rather than having them overlapping. If a
textbox is contained inside a rectangle and you try to move the textbox with
the mouse, you will notice that the rectangle determines the boundaries for
moving the textbox (unless you move the textbox completely out of the
rectangle).

Thanks that worked. Now I see I made the mistake of placing a new rectangle
over-top the txtboxes I wanted enclosed, so the textboxes aren’t referencing
the new parent rectangle.
