Unable to open dropdown present at bottom of screen - reporting-services

We have migrated from SSRS version 2008 to 2016.
We have a report having multiple parameters such that the parameters pane exceeds the laptop screen dimension.
Due to which the multi-value drop-down parameter present at bottom of screen is not opening as it does not have the space to open it.
In previous version, we used to click the "small upward arrow" present at bottom middle of screen and the screen used to expand.
But this is not happening in new version. Please suggest how this bottom drop-down can be viewed.
Also, changing the position of drop-down is not an option as there is forward dependency.

SSRS Report renders differently in Browser to Report Builder

SSRS 2017 Report Builder correctly renders report with drilldown buttons and field data. When rendered in the browser both the drilldown and field data are not visible.
Edge, Chrome and IE all hide the field with the drilldown button on it.
The fault appears to lie with css in .MSRS-RVC .tdResizable overflow:hidden, as if this is unticked (both in Chrome & IE Devtools) the fields are correctly shown, and work normally.
Edge screen grab showing missing fields:

SSRS Version
I have tried editing 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services\SSRS\ReportServer\Styles\htmlviewer.css' by adding
.MSRS-RVC .tdResizable {
overflow: visible !important;
}
to the bottom, however this has made no difference (I have restarted SSRS, but have not rebooted the server). Not sure I'm looking in the right place really...
I have modified the 'Can Grow' attribute to True on the field that was not visible, and this has resolved the issue. This should not really have made any difference, as the data is a fixed length and the report was easily wide enough to accommodate it (I even made it much wider to it to see if that was an issue), but that made no difference.
I can only presume that, in the background, the addition of the + button exceeded the row height set. This was working just fine with previous versions of SSRS, so the 2017 version must have a larger image for that button for some reason!
Hope this helps someone else in future!

SSRS Report - Removing right side white space

I'm developing an SSRS report in Visual Studio 2012. The report is set up to use landscape orientation. There is a 0.25in margin on the left and no margin on the right. The report is 10.5 inches wide. ConsumeContainerWhitespace is set to True. There are no hidden objects outside of the normal report area.
When I look at the report in print view or actually print it out there is a huge amount of white space on the right side of the report. It's almost like the report is being shrunk and then left justified when printing.
I would love to get this fixed so the report prints the same as it looks in the designer. If anyone has an opinion or some input it would be most welcome. Thank you!
This problem appears when a Windows 10 user has their DPI set to a value that is higher than %100. If DPI is set to %100 then the issue does not occur and no white space is seen when doing a print view or actually printing the report.
This is a common issue with Windows 10 and certain applications including ClickOnce apps like the one I'm using to run the reports. There does not seem to be a way to fix this from within Visual Studio as you can't make an application DPI aware that uses the ClickOnce deployment model.
The following steps will fix a Report temporarily until it is updated and the .exe is overwritten. This fix will also work for other Windows 10 apps, including Chrome, that appear blurry from using a custom DPI over %100. Be aware though that while this fix will fix blurry fonts in a ClickOnce app and white space in an SSRS report it can also disturb control positioning and form size.
Navigate to C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0
Under the 2.0 directory you will see one or more folders that are named with a random set of letters and numbers. Within these directories you must find the folder for the desired application. The folders will usually start with the first 3 or four letters of the application but there can be more than one folder that exists for your application.
Locate the .exe for your application. There may be more than one .exe for your app so apply this fix fix to all of them just to be sure.
Rightclick on the .exe and select properties and click the Compatibility tab.
Check the Disable display scaling on high DPI settings checkbox and click OK
Rerun your application and create a report that opens the report viewer.
Click the Print Layout button. The report should now be displayed with no white space on the right.
Print the report. There should be no extra white space on the right side of the report.
You can also work around the issue by temporarily setting your DPI back to %100 but I think that is a poor solution.
If it is a matrix report, you may also try setting the ConsumeContainerWhiteSpace to true. It is Report level property that you can find under "Other".
or else if it is a tabular report then adjust the margin and width accordingly.

You have me stumped but things I would check:
There isn't a textbox or label or something pushing past the boundary of the expected margin. This causes the report to print like what you are seeing. Just expand the report and make sure everything is actually less than 10.25 inches.
Is your paper size set to letter?

Visual Studio SSRS editor zoom option

I am new to SSRS. I am try to edit an existing report in VS2013. I'd like to be able to zoom in on a given area so that I can have fine control over dragging a column. I cannot find a zoom option.
Alternatively, if there is no zoom option, is there a way to set a column width in a tablix?
Ctrl + "+" will zoom in on the workspace. Alternatively, in the "Report" toolbar just underneath the menu bar (if it's not already visible, go to View->Toolbars->Report) you can change the zoom percentage.
To set the column width manually, select a single cell within the column- not the entire column- and go to the Properties window (or press F4.) You can set the width under the "Size" property.
Also, you can hold Ctrl while resizing with a mouse for finer control that ignores auto-snapping.

Access 2007 - Splash Screen Error

I had a splash screen created for my Access 2007 database, but the decision was made not to have a splash screen. I deleted it, but now every time I start the database up I get an error that says the splash screen is still being referred to.
I think I've searched everywhere in my database forms and macros, but I can't find any reference to the splash screen. Would very much appreciate some assistance.
Thanks,
Derek
Open the db
Cick the OFFICE BUTTON (top left)
Select the ACCESS OPTIONS button on bottom of window
In the left Panel - CURRENT DATABASE should be selected/highlighted
In the right panel, the 4th item listed is DISPLAY FORM: Change that pull-down menu to be NONE.
Click OK

SSIS Designer does not remember visible area

I am using SSIS in Visual Studio 2008 with SP1.
When I load the designer of an existing package, it always shows an empty area. I have to scroll down and right to see my components or use the area scroller to get them visible.
It looks like a bug. Does anyone knows a workaround to save the x,y positions of the visible area in a package ?
I get around this problem by doing the following:
Set zoom to 100% (View -> Zoom -> 100%) Note: you may have to click in the designer pane to get Zoom to show on the view menu.
Scroll the window to where you want it be when you open up the package.
Select and move a task.
Save file
For step 3, I usually select the top task and press Ctrl-[left arrow], Ctrl-[right arrow]. I like tasks to stay where I put them! :)
Hope that helps.
Select all the components -choose format - Auto Layout - Diagram
Then save your package
None of that worked for me in 2012. My controls were in the very bottom left corner so I cut them....moved the zoom to middle range and then pasted the controls and that worked.
