Padding for tables in report ignored

Asked by query_squidier in SQL Server 2005, MS SQL Server, SQL Reporting

Tags: Microsoft, Reporting Services, 2005

Hi.

I'm experiencing a frustrating problem with SSRS.

I have a SSRS report with several tables, each one butting up one on
top of the other with no white space between them in the designer.
Most of these tables have an expression for their Visibility property
that determines whether the text and data within the table is shown
when the report renders.  This is to create a report with sometimes-
there-sometimes-not data elements.  This part works fine.

The problem is my settings for the tables' Padding properties are
being ignored.  I can set the Bottom Padding for a table to 100pt and
when the report renders, there's no padding; it's like it's ignored
completely.  I can set a table to page break, that's working, but I
can't add padding to make the report look better.

Please advise and thanks.
