Report is mostly hidden in the report viewer

VS 2005: I created a report and I added it to a report viewer on a web
page. When I view the page in my browser I can see a little sliver of
what might be the report on the left edge of the report viewer. I can
page down to the last page and I can see a sliver of the report footer.
No error messages are generated. What am I doing wrong?

I changed the margins, etc., no effect.

When I export the report to Excel from the report viewer it looks fine.
All the data are there in the worksheet.

The report is very plain and the datasource is a simple SELECT
statement from a SQL 2005 server catalog. There's nothing else on the
web page.

I am so confused :(

interested, please reply to this message.

Hi, I think everyone who in the future stumbles upon your post would like
you to post the answer, because probably in a couple of months you won't
still be monitoring this post, so it would be nice if you post the answer
now

I was being a little sarcastic because most of my questions aren't
being answered at all in this group... so I had to answer my own...the
problem was that I was using FireFox and it does not support .Net
report controls correctly. When I can the same HTML in Explorer it
worked perfectly.

Cor Ligthert [MVP]

Nicomp,

Any idea why your messages are not answered, because this newsgroup and most
dotNet language newsgroups are known because there is about an answering
rate from 95%.

I checked for you in advance your questions. There were 5, one was handled.
The others were more how to use ASPNET than that they had to do with the
language from VB, something most regulars are mostly busy with; the dragging
handling is mostly done in a kind of automatic way. Your questions do
probably not add enough to the knowledge of the regulars in this newsgroup
to investigate it, because they take a lot of time. Probably is that in your
case where it was forever ASPNET (which have more solutions for that than
WindowsForms) better to visit for that kind of questions the newsgroup

microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet

If you have an MSDN subscription, than I advice you to logon on the webbased
newsgroup using your password from that MSDN subscription, you can be sure
that you get answer from the Microsoft support team until they are sure your
question is solved.

I hope this helps,

Cor
