group:Feeling Stupid - Multi-Column report layout
sql server reporting services:
New poster to the group. I scanned the group and googled this, but haven't found a solution yet. I am having problems setting up a multi-colum layout. In designer, Click Report Menu / "Report properties". Select "Layout" tab. Set the "Columns:" properties to 2. The designer shows me a design space with two columns, but only allows me to edit the contents in the left most column. Understood. Problem. I drop a table or list in the designer, and when previewed (in designer or browser after deploy) I don't get multiple columns. Just a skinny, very tall report. BOL has only basic references to multi-column reports. I feel like I am missing something obvious. Any body have any suggestions? Thanks, Bret Stateham
Unfortunately, multi-column layout is only supported in the 'page-oriented'
renderers (PDF, TIFF, Print). -- Brian Welcker Group Program Manager Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Brain,
Thanks much. I guess I shouldn't feel totally stupid because that wasn't mentioned in BOL, or at least I didn't notice it, but I somehow still feel like I should have thought of that.

The issue is that with HTML, there is no fixed page height so wrapping
multiple columns is sort of weird. We introduced "soft" page breaks late in the cycle in the HTML renderer but didn't get around to adding the multi-columns. -- Brian Welcker Group Program Manager Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Is there anything you have to do to get multiple columns rendered in a PDF
file. I understand not being able to do it in html, but when you convert it to PDF it still doesn't wrap. Anything special I need to do? [quoted text, click to view] "Brian Welcker" wrote:
