Hi,

We are developing a large number of reports (~100) and we want to
ensure that they have a consistent page footer. Does anyone know of an
easy way to do this in Report Services. Some type of inheritance or
template mechanism?

hi,
Try this thread, "Can inherited from a custom report"
You can create a template RDL and save it in \Program Files\Microsoft
Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\ProjectItems\ReportProject.

Not to be redundant, but Steffi's post is spot on. The easiest way to do
this is to create an RDL file that serves as your template. In the past,
we've created different sections in the template (simple table, 1 group
table, 2 groups table, 3 groups table, matrix, chart) and set all their
properties correctly, then when we've identified the type of report it is,
copy the template and delete the unused sections.
