On one of my reports, the +/- for expand/collapse of groups is reversed -- i.e. when the group is expanded it displays "+" and when the group is collapsed it displays "-". The display of the document map is correct. Has anyone else had this problem? thx Helen

Hi , i know that this answer may be too late , but it could help somebody else. Well , you have to select the field that you want to hide and show , Right Click over the field , and click on properties , go to visibility tab , select the field that would be the container of the +/- icon , and select initial visibility and click on hidden, and select initial appearance to Collapse. And Well that's all ,pretty Easy. Hope This help you.

@Marco_AEF: Your solution works if you want the default behaviour of the report to be collapsed. Then the expand/collapse and +/- make sense. They stop making sense when you want the default behaviour of the report to be it expanded. I'm still looking for a solution to this problem myself. Tim

You can always use expression to decide how you want the +/- to show.Josh George LiveLogic, LLC

Hi Tim,The trick is to set the InitialToggleState of the toggling textbox to True if the default behavior of the table group is to be expanded. Unfortunately, that property is not exposed in textbox property dialogs, and you have to use the property grid (in RB2 and RB3, go to the View Tab on the ribbon and check Properties).Open the property grid, select the textbox that has the toggle image, and you will see a property named InitialToggleState under the Visibility group. It should be False if the toggled group is collapsed by default, or True if the toggled group is expanded by default.Hope this helps!Cheers,LawrenceThis posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

You got it Lawrence. Thanks. I tested your solution in both SQL 2005 and SQL 2008 with success.

Thanks Lawrence Wong. The solution suggested worked for my case.

Thanks, Lawrence! It was helpful.
