"Hide When Printing" in Reporting Services
Y'know, unless I'm looking in the wrong place, it's not possible to hide or customize an item on a Reporting Services report depending on whether the report is being viewed on screen or printed.
I think it'd be a great addition to the product if you could somehow programatically determine whether a report is being viewed, printed or exported from item expressions. For example, it makes no sense to print a URL link that only works when the report's being viewed in the browser.
To this end I have created this feature request on Microsoft's Sql Server feedback centre:
Provide a way to determine if the current report is being printed/exported
Vote on it if you agree!

y'know I've voted on it... now heres something I've been thinking about on the way home:
You know we've talked about how we'd like to be able to make templates and things - css the RS...
I'd like to at least be able to tag cells on a table, or in the header, etc as a certain status: ie Header1, Header2, Content, etc.
Much like you would for Word - so we could change the one location and it would flow through to all elements with that tag.
I know its not quite CSS, but it would be a great start.

Hi Matt
Good suggestion... I voted for it as well.
FYI I put up my SQL Reporting Services feedback/suggestions at http://www.ssw.com.au/SSW/Standards/BetterSoftwareSuggestions/ReportingServices.aspx
