Greetings. I want to do that by including a texbox within a table to shorten the name when it reaches the end of the cell where it is now the name is displayed on a line below full SRSS work with reporting services.

One approach would be to use an expression to set the TextBox Value. Something like MID(Fields!TextStuff.Value,1,10) __________________________________________________________________ William Vaughn Author, Mentor, Trainer, MVP Beta V Corporation William Vaughn's blog Hitchhikers Guide to Visual Studio and SQL Server (7th Edition) The Owl Wrangler a fantasy fiction novel Please click the Mark as Answer button if a post solves your problem!

I've tested and works in some cases, but even in others, the text goes down depending on how long the word. You have another solution?.

turn off text wrapping and set can increase to false - this will simulate cutting the text off at the end of the textbox To actually physically truncate the text will require code and a knowledge of how big the textbox is as well as how many pixels letters take up in different fontsRgds Geoff
