i dont want the scroll bars, i just need the three fields from a query to be displayed regularly just as they would be in a spread sheet or grid
In your report's Detail section, create a text box (not a list box) for each of those 3 fields in your query.
It might be easier to get oriented by creating an autoform based on the query.

I'm developing a rdlc report, that uses the data from a dataset, programmatically filled (from VB.Net). I need to display the data of the dataset as in the linked photo, so not in a classic "table" way, but each page of the report will concerne only one record of the dataset. Any cells of first page will be filled with the data of the first row of the dataset, the second with the second and so on.
Is it possible to display the report in this way with rdlc?
Further to my comment, I believe it's possible to do what you want using the table, with a bit of work on the layout.
Start by adding a table in the normal way, and get that basically working ie so that it shows all the data across one row. Then work on re-arranging the cells so that they are in vertical columns. Do this by right-clicking in the shaded area to the left of the rows, and select 'Insert Row'
Finally create a group around the whole thing, and group by Item Number or w/e is appropriate for your data. Then in the 'Row Groups' window at the bottom of the designer, right click your new group and select 'Group Properties > Page Breaks > Between each instance of a Group.
This should get you pretty close to your required layout.
I have many reports in a project, each showing different data about different things. I have shown the user the project, and his main feedback was this:
I like the reports, however I notice that in a lot of them, the tables show all of the columns that meet the report criteria (what the report is showing), even if they are empty. Can you change them so that if a column is empty, it is not displayed, as this takes up needless space?
Is there a way I can achieve this? For example, if the report is Sales by Customer x by Suppliers, and one supplier has no data for this customer, I don't want that supplier to be shown. Is there a way I can get the report to only display columns if they contain data?
To clarify, the effect I am after is, if the report below was shown, the column Arris Rail (144) 75x75 1.282m would not be displayed.
Right click on crostab > Cross-tab expert > customise style
set option Suppres empty columns
I think you need to replace "-" value to null or empty
I am having set of text boxes in the report and binding each columns in the text box from the Data set.
As of now only first record from the dataset is binding in the text box.
I need all the rows in the dataset to bind in the text boxes page wise.
Each row in the dataset bind to text boxes page wise.
First record in first page,Second record in second page ... etc.
How to achieve this? Help me to solve this...
Thanks in Advance,

I recently faced the same issue, I used some help from stackoverflow to solve the issue, u might have already figured it out but this is to help others with similar issue.
Make sure you have a Dataset defined for your report.
Add a "Table" control to the report. This seems to be needed in order to iterate the rows in your Dataset.
Delete the header row and two of the default columns from the table so that you are left with a single row with a single column.
Expand the table to the width of your layout and make it as tall as you will need for your "free form" layout.
By default, there is a TextBox inside the table cell. Right-click the empty table cell and choose "delete" to remove that TextBox.
Drag a "Rectangle" control into the empty table cell. It seems to automatically "dock" to the width/height of the table cell.
Now you should be able to drag the fields from your DataSet (TextBoxes, etc) into the Rectangle to produce the desired layout.
You can use a List with page breaks at the end of details group.
I need to create a drop-down box so that an employee can select a pre-set reason in the "RE:" field of a Report. There are only two selections that need to be in the box: "personal events" and "lack of adequate notice".
The report itself is already made and there are a number of fields that link back to the database - name, address, specific dates, etc that are already in the report. I've figured out how to make the drop-down box using the combo box function in a form but is there any way I can merge the combo box into the report?
I'm a beginner, by the way so I'm still figuring things out.
Currently your report sits on a query (query get relevant data from the table)
Steps to follow:-
Change the table by adding a column with the two options you just
mentioned above
Add combobox to Form with items as the two options
Adjust your query to use these options as a criteria to change
results returned by the query
Show the results in the report as you are showing right now.
If you have a code already, please post that snippet. So we can help you accordingly.
Some reference for you to get ideas
BUT I HAVE A DOUBT, ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY YOU WANT TO SWTICH BETWEEN TWO REPORTS BASED ON THE USER CHOICE SELECTED IN COMBOBOX?
How do I dynamically display the 'Edit' on the hyperlink field based on the values on the rows, generated from the database.
N/B.: the gridview automatically generates rows.
Do you mean you want a DataGridViewLinkColumn in the grid with Edit displayed if appropriate? Like this:
In which case, make the whole column a LinkColumn and whether or not it's clickable will be taken care of internally by the grid. Columns which don't display Edit will not be clickable.
If you don't mean this then please provide more detail.
