Report drilldown still a major issue - HotFix needed!

While testing the latest RC1 SRS software and trying to get report drill down
in a chart working, I found that it was not working as expected. I thought
that this might be a Dundas issue, but has since learned that this is a MS
issue.
I understand that MS is aware of this and I strongly believe that this needs
to be fixed via HotFix rather than waiting until release time or later. We
are working towards a Spring 2006 release of our software and report
drilldown is one of the most important elements of our application.
Has anyone else ran into this issue?
Thanks!
KeithThis sound like you need a fix. I would contact Microsoft Product Support
Services. If it is indeed a fix and not user error, all fees are refunded.
If you specific details on what the bug is, I can look it up and see if it
is fixed if it is something we know about.

Report display in Firefox

Hi everyone,

I know there are issue with reports not displaying as expected in ReportViewer when using Firefox, including the weird 'add something wide to your header' bug, but I've encountered a slightly different problem.

I'm using a matrix report, which displays perfectly in IE, and will render nicely when exported to either excel or pdf format with either IE or Firefox. However, when you simply view the report in firefox it looks awful: all the columns of the matrix are squashed so much that you can't read anything at all. OK, I can just say to people "export the report", but it'd be good if I could fix this.

Any ideas will be much appreciated. Thanks

This is a known problem. I don't know if there are any updates yet. What you can try is add a blank textbox to the footer of the report and stretch it manually to the width of your report. This will force the report to stretch in Firefox.

Hi,

I already have a line the same width as my report in the header, and I've added a blank textbox the width of the report to the footer. Unfortunately, there's no change. The 'cells' of the matrix are still mini and totally unreadable. Thanks anyway

dhassen:

and I've added a blank textbox the width of the report to the footer

Just to confirm, is this the footer of the report or the page. If its the report, then add it to the page footer. For inserting a page footer, do this:

When you are in the design view of report, go to Report Menu from the menu options, add a Page Footer (if you don't have one), drag and drop an empty textbox on this footer and stretch it.

If you have already done it, I am out of solutions.

yep, unfortunately it was the page footer that I tried. Ah well... see if anyone else has any ideas
