Hi
As always looking for a bit of an idea. I've created a standard RDL report, basically for page size (A4), added language "<Language>en-ZA</Language>", and changed the measurements from inches to cm. All to suit my country settings.
However, using this template, I now lose the formatting of tables, and I don't want to apply styles afterwards per text item / table.
Ideally I would like to have 1 file (xml or DB table) that can used for all the reports. I had a look at the article http://qa.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Reporting+Services+(SSRS)/65810/ but as soon as i try and access the code in a textbox, it doesn't find the function.
this is sort of the idea that Im looking for, but I don't really want to apply this sort of formatting to each and every item in a table.
The ideal solution would be something similar to Excel, "Format table". What is the easiest way of applying formats to a table after its already been created? Or is it possible to use a style sheet somehow?

I think this is the option that Im sort of looking for.

Still a bit of coding, but I ahve a few ideas of my own.
But, any other suggestions are still most welcome!
Thanks

Hi Burninator
Got that one as well, its really a pity that a style sheet cant be applied to ssrs, i see that they say even in the new release, it wont happen. I got mine working, its just a bit of a shlep
