Collapsing columns in table mode, part II

I figured out how to collapse a column, but the report generator is maintaining the space that the collapsed columns occupied even when the columns are hidden. For me, it's valuable for space optimization to have all remaining columns to the right "move over" to be flush against the other visible columns. Can this be done?Is this possible?|||

What you explain as your goal is the behavior I see in RS 2005. If I assign a Toggle Item to a table column, columns to the right of it move left when the column is hidden.

Are you sure you're assigning the Toggle Item to the Table Column instead of the individual table cells within the column?

|||Hi Chris, thanks for hte response. I tried what you suggest, and that is select an entire column and assign a textbox to control the visibility, but whenever I did that, I get the following error:

"The definition of the report '/ForecastReport' is invalid. The table 'table1' has 'textbox37' as a toggle item. Toggle items must be text boxes that share the same scope as the hidden item or are in a scope that contains the hidden item, and caonnot be contained within the current report item unless current grouping scope has a Parent"

One interesting thing about this error that I just noticed is, in the report designer, I have tripled checked to make sure I've got the desired COLUMN selected, not 'table1'.|||Perhaps more telling, when I select an entire column in the designer and then go to the "visibility" section, the "ToggleItem" drop down is completely empty of available choices.|||

Did you ever found a solution to this. I do have the same problem.

yours sincerely
Johan
