Problem with Embedded Image

Hi,

I have a report with background embedded image. I have placed few textboxes on top of them to display data. Every time I set the location of the textbox, it is behaving strangely by rendering at one location one time and changing location next time when it is rendered. I am viewing it in PDF format.

How can I fix the location of textboxes that renders at one location all the time ?

Thanks,

I am having this problem and others, too. I have a large background image, and I'm placing textboxes on top. I designed it with just dummy data in the textboxes, got it laid out just fine. But after putting actual data in and conditionally hiding some textboxes, the problem shows up in the Preview tab in SQL Studio and in an Adobe Acrobat export. Text boxes do not render in their correct locations.

Furthermore, I cannot get the text box to line up at all where I want it. In the Preview, a textbox will render higher up than I intend. If I move it downward in the Layout tab, the textbox renders much lower than I intend. I have my choice of rendering above or below where I want it, but I just can't render it at the correct location even using direct manipulation of the location attributes of the textbox properties. If I correct a rendering by 0.01 inches, it moves a half inch downward on the rendering and pdf.

Maybe it's a rounding error in the application with regard to the textbox locations... But I had no problems when I laid out the form with plain text in all textboxes and none of them hidden. All textboxes are set to CanGrow = False

Suggestions are welcome...

Shyam,

I found a workaround to my problem. It fixes the problem of Layout not looking like Preview or Export to PDF. I had to set all textboxes to hidden = false. Then instead of making them conditionally hidden, I made them all visible but made the data conditionally empty.

Moral of the story: don't hide textboxes.
