Preview Does Not Match Website
SSRS 2008 R2 IE 8.0.6 I created a text box in Visual Studio 2008 with the following expression: = "Backlog:" & chr(10) & " All: " & format(Sum(Fields!Total_Backlog.Value, "backlog"), "C") & chr(10) & " Past Due: " & format(Sum(Fields!Past_Due_Backlog.Value, "backlog"), "C") When I preview my report, it shows multiple spaces between the ":" and "$" the way I want it to. However, when I deploy and view it in IE8 it only shows one space. How do I make the preview and IE allways match and how do I get IE to show the extra spaces? Thanks, Scott

Hi, Scott This is the behavior of the HTML rendering extension. There are subtle differences in the way each renderer outputs text. I would recommend that you place the label text (i.e. "All:", "Past Due:", etc.) and the field values in separate textboxes. I typically use a table with separate columns to ensure that they align correctly.Paul Turley, MVP, www.SQLServerBIBlog.com *Please vote if helpful*
