Parameter Input Area on Drill Through

Does anyone know a way to force RS to not collapse the parameter area on a drill through? I searched this forum and found some related threads but nothing that covered this.

I have several reports where they drill through to each other and in all cases, while they pass the parameters between, the users usually want to go directly to different products or time periods within the reports. They constantly have to expand the input area every time they go to another report. This confuses a lot of them.

Is there a setting somewhere that controls this?

Thanks, Tim

Sorry, this can't be changed in Report Manager or Report Server URL Access. If you were to use the VS Reporting controls in a custom app, you'd be able to do this.

Parameter area too large

I have a report that has so many parameters that the area fills the screen.
When the report runs, I can't see the results because of this. I can't even
see the double arrow to hide the parameter area. Any suggestions?Pete,
That's a tough one. Assuming your talking about using IE to view the reports
with the Reporting Services toolbar, I'd make my own web page wrapper around
the reports instead, using URL addressability to change the parameters of
the reports. That way, you could make up a more usable interface for
supplying the parameters.

Parameter area in RS2000

Hi,

Is there any way to have some kind of control over the controls in the reporting services htmlviewer parameter area.

What i really wan't to do is set a minimum width to the combobox's in that area, or a fixed width,it would be good too.

Thanks.

To keep it short and simple, no.

HTH, jens Suessmeyer.

Unlike Rs2005 there is no css file for the htmlviewer in rs2000? Or anything that resembles that?

Thank's

|||Oh sure yes there is a css file, I was not aware that you can influence the display behaviour of the controls by these files.

At least RS2005 we can. I think that in RS2000 things are a bit diferent. I can′t seem to find the file htmlviewer.css (this is the file we can tweak in RS2005 to provide some control over the display behaviour), on anything that resembles.

Thanks.

parameter area extension

How can I extend Reporting services UI to include into input
parameter's area TreeView control like to calendar picker ?
Thank you in advance,
L.Lubich,
MCSD, Web programmerneed to write your own UI, since SSRS doesn't provide facitilites for
changing the UI of the report.

page overflow

How much of a performance hit do I take if I need to take advantage of the overflow area for a varying character that exceeds that 9 K page limit? Is it best to stay away from this except for emmergencies?

the cost of overflow is relative. It all depends on how much your data is fragmented. Run showcontig to determine the fragmentation.

In general, sql2k5 is much better at handling large data than sql2k. However, if you do not need blob, don't use it.
