When I view the report from the Preview tab in VS, the layout is fine and aligned correctly. If I go to the Report Server on the web, and view the report, textboxes are longer on the right, and alignment is off all over the place.
Any suggestions are welcomed!
Thanks!

Hey,
I have this problem quite often. What I do to solve it is: A: Always view the report on the report server. I deploy it and view it with a browser - almost as easy as previewing and provides instant feedback.
B: I make sure the page width is 19cm (also important for printing), and that no table/matrix/textbox is over the edge, or OVERLAPPING any other componetns. This is crucial: overlapping components (e.g, textbox on top of a chart) messes up the layout. Also, if you use subreports, make sure they are the same width as the main report. And finally, I once solved such a bug by pasting a table from another report...(don't ask my it solved it)...
Good luck!

Thanks eyal!
Yeah, I just keep deploying it now and check it that way. I have noticed if there's any overlapping, the format goes crazy.
What we've done too is put as much as possible in tables. That's helping a bit too.
Thanks!
