Using SSRS 2008 - When I use this BorderStyle Top Expression in Design/Preview it looks fine. When I deploy it to the production server the border lines show up and they are not supposed to. Any help is greatly appreciated. =IIF(Previous(Fields!Category.Value)= Fields!Category.Value , "None", "Solid")

Hi RudyCat, I am glad to handle this thread with you, I test your scenario in local machine using your expression, after being deployed, the report on the server shows the same layout as the report in preview, in your statement you mentioned they are not supposed to, could you please give some picture to demonstrate your issue, which is a big help for us supply further assistance. Besides this I would recommend you update the reporting services to the latest service package to see whether it works and give some feedback.

The border lines show up on each row. I have HideDuplicates Dataset1 on so as not to show repeating Categories. See below. This is the way it is supposed to look except there should be a top border only over each category. In design/preview it shows the way I want it. After deployment there is a complete border in the category column for each row, which I don't want. I am using SSRS 2008 version 9.0.30729.1 SP & Microsoft .NET Framework Version 3.5 SP1 on my laptop.
