bug: PageBreak does not work when set Hidden (visibilty) using parameters

In my report project, I used many subreport in my master report. Each
subreport was put in a rectangle area so that I could setup
PageBreakAtEnd or PageBreakAtStart. In the meantime I also need to set
the Hidden property which is based on the parameters or conditional
expression for showing/hidding subreports. BUT PAGE BREAK does not work
at all.
If setting this HIDDEN property using False or True instead of
expression, page break still works fine. It's definitely such a big bug
that it makes subreports or other report items less useful. When
rendering report the layout of report is so strange. I knew this issue
last year.
Is there any solution or other alternative way to the issue or does SP2
resolve it?
Thanks,
LeonLeon I agree with you and have the same issue. We would appreciate really if
Reporting Service help desk give us some definitive response on this ASAP.

Border around group of textboxes

Hi- I'm trying to enclose a group of textboxes by a border, essentially a VB
groupbox or panel. I've tried using both a rectangle and text box object with
a border to accomplish this. When you preview it looks right; however, when
the report is rendered, the html generates a separate table with a border
then all the textboxes below it. How can I get the html to render properly?
ThanksHTML does not support overlapping reportitems, they will get pushed around.
It sounds like you don't want overlapping reportitems, but you want the
textboxes being contained inside the rectangle.
You can achieve this by using drag-and-drop in report designer to drop the
textboxes into the rectangle - rather than having them overlapping. If a
textbox is contained inside a rectangle and you try to move the textbox with
the mouse, you will notice that the rectangle determines the boundaries for
moving the textbox (unless you move the textbox completely out of the
rectangle).

over-top the txtboxes I wanted enclosed, so the textboxes arenâ't referencing
the new parent rectangle.
