>>>Hi,
>>>
>>>I have managed to create a web page with a report viewer control and a datasource and have got it to show the correct data! However, the layout is awful. Each column is only about two characters wide. I can't see how to change the column widths as they are already set at 3cm wide

>>It looks like this might be a browser thing. Running in Opera displays the data, but all scrunched up. IE looks like it's more spread out, and shows more options on the reportviewer toolbar (such as the printer icon), but no data is displayed. In FireFox it displays much better, the columns are the proper width, but no printer icon.

It does look OK in PDF. I never use IE so I'll research compatibility view and see what happens. Thanks
Frank.
