Report Designer Sorting in Details Group?

Can you specify the Sorting in the Details group in reports designed with Report Designer? If so how?

I know that I can set the Sorting in the Details group in reports generated with Report Builder (the Sorting element is a child of the Details element).

Thanks!!!

You can edit the Sorting in Details Group by using the Sorting tab of the Table Properties dialog in Report Designer.

|||I don't see a Sorting tab on the Details group dialog...where is the Table Properties dialog in the Report Designer?|||To display the Table Properties dialog:

1. Click the table so that column and row handles appear above and next to the table.
2. Right-click in the upper-left hand corner where the column and row handles intersect.
3. Select Properties from the drop-down menu.

Ah...they make that tough to get to don't they...

Report creates extra page

I have a report that should only generate 2 pages but generates 3.
Group 1 of the report has 41 rows
Group 2 of the report has 52 rows
When the report is generated, Group 1 creates Page 1, Group 2 creates Page 2
"and" Page 3. Page 2 has 46 rows and the remainder of the rows (6) overflow
to page 3.
Is there a limit? Or is there some setting somewhere to control this?
TIAThere is an option under the properties of the table/matrix to "fit on one
page if possible". Also at the top with file, edit, view....there is Report,
then report properties. Under the layout, the length of the page determines
how many objects can fit.

I checked the "fit on one page if possible", this is checked. Also, with
the Layout properties of the Report, Page width: 11in. Page height:8.5in.
(for Landscape printing) Isnt this just for the printing of the report?
thanks again.

but created a problem with printing landscape. Any ideas where to go from
here?
thanks.

it to fit. It will have to be longer to fit on the page, or make the typing
smaller to fit everything on the same size page. You could try keeping the
page size the same and making the margins less to fit a little more
information on the page.

object in the header of my report. The textbox would 'hang' on the margin and
would force and extra page. Adjusting the size and or placement of header
items seemed to fix it. (also footer)

It seemed to be that my sub report changes would not show up when previewing the main report. Once I had saved and previewed the sub reports, then clicked the refresh button when previewing the parent report, the changes finally showed up and the extra page went away... hooray!
Good luck with this nasty proble

Report Builder button doesn't appear....

Hi,
I have the latest CTP installed. Users do not see the report builder button.
Only members of the local admin group seem to have it displayed. Can anyone
steer me in the right direction'
AllanI have run into a similar problem on my machine. The Report Builder button
never appears in my report manager home page.
I'm using Windows 2000 workstation with SQL Server 2005 (September)

problem. I have ensured that the users are in the Reporting services Content
Manager security group (and indeed every other group) but with no joy. Only
members of Windows Domain Admins group can see the button.
I guess I must be missing something ... ?

--> System USer has "Execute report definitions" is checked. This is not
checked by default if you are upgrading to 05. If you are installing it brand
new, then it is checked by default.

cases).
Having the same issue, adding a user to the local admin group of the
SQLRS2K5 server has the Report Builder button appearing. Remove the user
from the local admin group, the button goes away.
Trying all other local groups for the user do not resolve the issue. Looking
also for a way to get this to work.

The solution is:
site settings -> Configure site-wide security -> New Role Assignment ->
add user to either 'System Admin' or 'System User'

do this versus just assigning the user to the report builder role under item
level security?
