Access 2010 - SubReports Spacing - ms-access

I am having an issue where when I am in design view on the report I have two subreports on top of each other and it looks like it should preview just fine for the report but then when i take a look at it in report view or print preview it shows the report on the bottom of the top report on a new page even though there is nearely to no spacing between the subreports in design view. I've tried shrinking the subreport, making the text smaller and nothing is working.

Probably the subreports on the left and right are the problem.
If they are set to "Can grow = Yes", they will force the bottom subreport to be printed below their bottom border.
To prevent this, you will have to combine the two subreports in the middle into one subreport (you can nest subreports).

create margins after page break within tablix

Im working on a Report with a coverpage. So the body has no margins and the full page is useable.
The report also has no Headers or footers because the coverpage must cover the whole page.
For tablix i set a row with empty textboxes to get white space between the page border and the tablix. But if a tablix gets so much data that 1 site is not enough, the data will go to the very edge of the page and start at the very top of the new page.
How can i enter space at these points so data isnt at the edge of the page?
I was unable to find a method that worked in this case.
So the BackEnd dev requested for me to split the two reports into the Coverpage and visual data area. That way i can have footers and my colleague simply merges both reports back together when its being requested.

SSRS 2016 - multiple tablix on one report causes overlap when rendering

I have inherited an SSRS report which had an existing tablix on it - I want to add a further tablix below to display data from another data set as the format is very slightly different - each tablix displays a different kind of sales for a certain customer.
I have added the second tablix and the report seems fine within the report designer renderer, but when I access it via MS Edge directly from the URL the first tablix overlaps the second and obscures it from view.
I have set a page break at the end of the first tablix, and at the start of the second, and again in the designer renderer it works fine and pages, but in MS Edge it overlaps across the page break. In Chrome it renders OK.
The issue I have is I am displaying this SSRS report in a Web Browser Control on an access for an it renders just like it does in MS Edge so it looks screwed up.
It is like the first tablix just runs over into page 2 rather than making the extra content of itself page 2, and the second tablix then on page 3. I don't even really need the pages as ideally it would all be one long report with a vertical scroll, but this overlap issue means I have been trying to force it to split.
Any other way I can stop the first tablix obliterating the second one?
I had a similar problem recently (I found your question while searching for an answer). I didn't want to go to all the trouble of creating a sub report and eventually tracked down the cause of the issue for my case which may be the same as what you were experiencing.
The issue was that my first Tablix was setup with a height of 2.7cm. My second one's top was 2.66781cm. That caused both of them to overlap with each other when the report was rendered. When I changed the top of the second Tablix to 2.7cm the issue was resolved.

Adjusting subreport headers in SSRS

I'm trying to create a sort of master subreport that I can use as a header for other reports.
The subreport has 2 image logos in the left and right corner. I insterted the images in the body of the subreport.
My struggle here is to make it as universal that it works with all reports.
Some of the destination reports even though they are all A4 size reports, have different size report bodies. For example, the destination report is a bit more narrow than the subreport with header, in the preview I end up with a wider header than destination report body, the header clearly takes the width from the header subreport. Is there a setting or a way that I could set the width of the subreport header to fit to the destination report width?
The only possible workaround currently I can think of is to play with the margins etc in each of the destination reports
Easy way to handle this: Use an internal parameter that defaults to false to toggle the visibility of elements like title blocks and images.
When including the report as a subreport, set that parameter to true and you'll have a stripped down data-element only version. Then put titles and other formatted layout around the subreport in your master report. That way you can make everything line up there.

SSRS Tablix displayed side by side or on another page

I have an SSRS (SSDT 2012) report that I want to have a tablix display beside another on or be on another page.
Essentially I want to give the user the ability to select a drop down that says "Side by Side" or "On Separate Page". Depending on which one they select it will flip on the page break or turn it off. I have all of this part working.
The issue is because the tablix are side by side on the form the page break will not cause the second tablix to break at the end of the first tablix. I still see both tablix on the first page.
The work around is to replicate the second tablix below the first and just hide or unhide depending on the option selected. This is not ideal because I have to maintain separate tablix with the same data.
Is this possible? Or is my workaround the best solution?

Keeping Tablix and Subreport on same page

I have a report with a subreport in the report body, followed by a tablix in the report body. I have another report with the tablix above the subreport.
I don't want there to be a page break after the objects in the report, I've tried setting the various options according to various online articles but no joy.
What are all the settings that need to be in place on both the subreport and the tablix to ensure there is no page break?
Have you tried adjusting the page layout options? I.E. portrait vs. landscape, page size, etc? If not, you can access them in Report Builder 3.0 On the Home tab, in the Layout group. Or for Visual Studio with BIDS, On the View menu, point to Toolbars, and click Layout.
If that doesn't work, does it seem to be page breaking solely on length of items on the page, or is it breaking on groups?
