Adding empty space

I want to add some spaces on the starting feild value. Please see the below example

" " & Fields!Name.Value

This is working on my BIDS. But the spaces are removed automatically when I deployed the report to the report manager. What should be the problem.

Rather than inserting spaces, can you adjust the padding property on the textbox? If you goal is to have the field indented, that should work.|||

Try using StrDup(3, Chr(32)) & Fields!Name.Value or Space(3) & Fields!Name.Value

Hi Folks,

I'm attempting to add empty spaces to format my report. I have one subreport that's a part of my report. I used the "Space()" function and it worked nicely within VS2005, however when I moved my report to the Report Server all my heading and detail data had one space in between them. I also tried "strDUP(3, " ")" and it too worked fine in VS2005 but not on the Report Server. Below is a sample of my code in what I trying to accomplish.

="DIR #" & StrDup(5, " ") & "ST" & StrDup(4, " ") &

"DIR NAME" & StrDup(20, " ") & "PUBCO" &

StrDup(7, " ") & "CLOSE" & StrDup(10, " ") & "ISSUE"

|||Spaces don't work very well when you are rendering as HTML, as browsers tend to ignore repeated white space. Any reason you couldn't use a table instead?|||

Hi John,

I'm currently using a table and it consist of one large column because my subreport is a part of it.

Best regards

|||How about using seperate columns for displaying this info, and merging the cells for the subreport?|||

John - I followed your advice and added a table within my table and it works fine now.

Thanks for your help.
