sql server reporting services:
Is it possible to do something like a horizontal grow for columns?

I found this, but wanted to know if there was an easier way.

Search for "Horizontal Tables" see if that is what your looking for.

To add more, this is what we want

Essentially what we want is the equivalent of an HTML table with no width
parameters set (table at 100% of window). If the browser window is too small
the data will wrap. But expanding the browser to full-screen the table would
expand to fill the window.

Hello Chris,

Unfortunately, you could not accomplish this in the Reporting Services
directly. Since the report could not get the width of your browser, it
could not calculate the width of the table.

One choice is export the report to the web archieve and modify the html
code in it.

Also, you may consider write your custom render extension.

What exactly is involved in writing a custom rendering extension?

We'd like to avoid the export (unless we ran it on a schedule, which could
work). And then have the HTML parsed out too I guess...

That's a possibility... Can I control the html that comes out of a web
archive?

Hello Chris,

You need to use the custom rendering extension to control the html output
of the web archive.
