Reporting Services 2008 custom template

You can create a custom template by editing a report and placing it in one of the following locations depending if you have a 64 bit or 32 bit pc.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\ProjectItems\ReportProject
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\ProjectItems\ReportProject

Then to use this template you right click on the reports menu and select new item.


What one would do is to have a nicely formatted header and footer with page numbers etc.

The only problem is that the wizard is nice in setting up your table or matrix.

It just doesn't allow one to have a default page of A4. Instead it defaults to the us letter sizes.
