Change height of footer in SSRS - reporting-services

Is there a way to reduce the height of the page footer on an SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) Report less than .88597in?
I tried to set the height to .5 in the properties panel and right-clicking the footer, selecting footer properties then putting .5 in the height box. Neither work.

If it is an RDLC file, then you can only change the height when it is empty. Cut the objects in the footer, resize it, and then paste them back in.

The report footer is not restricted to it's height. You either have a textbox/image/rectangle with a larger height, or a textbox within is causing a line break.
Try setting the textboxes properties within the footer to CanGrow: false and CanShrink:true to make sure these don't increase the height.
Also check that none of your objects in the footer have a dynamic location/position or size.

SSRS Chart Horizontal Label Height Issue

Created bar chart in SSRS in which horizontal axis labels are coming vertically, which i made them vertically by setting rotation 90 degree, but now problem is their height. how i will control the height of the labels.
Please any one know the property which will control the height tired to find but no luck.
If you click in the Chart Area, there are properties for CustomInnerPlotPosition. Within these properties, set Enabled to true and try adjusting the Height to your needs. These properties control where the inner chart area should start and how much space it should take up, as percentages of the whole chart.
However, it seems that the label fitting does not take these properties into account. If your labels keep the same font size etc. you may find that part of them expand off the chart's edges. You may need to adjust some other settings too, or use shortened labels, but the CustomInnerPlotPosition properties should help get the result you want.

SSRS - Dynamically shrink header

I need to shrink dynamically height of header on ssrs
I have found answer on: How to dynamically increase the page Header height in SSRS 2008 , but still I have problems as follows.
I have SSRS with several text boxes, (10 lines), and I want to show only one line for page 2 and after, and for page 1 - all of the lines.
I cannot shrink the size, because minimum size of header by default is the maximum element bottom position.
Can I control the size of height of the header dynamically?
Thanks :)
Page header and footers can not be dynamically sized. This allows support for more output devices but limits its use for many situations. A common work around is to use a Parent group above all others in your dataset that has a sql command that returns 1 row such as SELECT OneRow=1. You could place your header logic in this print once groups header and optionally show or hide the header based on first page last page etc.

SSRS hidden column creates extra blank page

I have a report with a Tablix where I would like it almost full page width. "Gross Pay" is visible or not based on a parameter. I have also added a blank column to the left of this which has the opposite visibility to "Gross Pay" as a work around for the fact that I can't resize tablix width dynamically so the whole tablix stays the same width.
This is all fine and works but spits out an extra page when saving to pdf. This is because my body width is greater than 21cm. Below is the tablix, the red line is where page end is.
My body width must be 24cm in the designer to accommodate this hidden field but will always display under 21cm in the end. Can I have a body width in the designer larger than the page size? Alternate solutions would also be appreciated.
Thanks!
I ended up removing the blank column and just using expressions for all fields on the "Gross Pay" column that would fill it as blank if appropriate parameter was set.

Formatting Issues in MS Access Report - The Height property does not change with the CanShink and CanGrow property

In an MS Access Report, I have text-boxes with the CanShrink and CanGrow property set to true. A procedure runs when the form is opened, dynamically adding data to these text boxes. I retrieve the Height property from these text-boxes after data is added but it appears that it is retrieving the original height of the text-box (the height that it was created as in design view).
Is there any way around this? I am essentially trying to create a table like structure, where the height of the and number of cells are unknown until run-time. Should tables really be so difficult to make?
Here is a visual of my problem:
Note:
Form msdn: "When a control shrinks, the controls below it move up the page." That hasn't been the case in my project, though when a control grows, the controls below it move down. The main problem is that bottom border of the adjacent cell does not line up when a cell grows.
The size of the Left boxes are preventing the Right boxes from moving up.

Getting the scroll bar to ignore a fixed div at the top of the page

On this site here:
http://acp.studevent.co.uk/
I have a fixed div at the top which will act as a menu and a content div below containing everything else. I cannot figure out how to use overflow-y: scroll so that the pages scroll bar is only used for the content div and ignores the header div at the top.
PrimeFaces's layout/layoutUnit components do exactly what you needed. And if I'm not mistaken, they use javascript to calculate and set an height to the content. Each time you resize your page it recalculates the values.
You can check their showcase:
http://primefaces.org/showcase/ui/layoutFull.jsf
I dare say, you need to set a fixed height for overflow-y'to work. And one way to make it dynamic is to somehow calculate the necessary values.
Also you could make them have dynamically calculated fixed heights by using css positioning and left-right-top-bottom properties.
Best regards..
