Your post was much more helpful than those by Microsoft, who simply say that it cannot be done! Thanks Brandon.

Deploy report as ise and view in browser 2. View source and locate the control id (Ex. ReportViewerControl_ctl00_ctl07_txtValue). You can usually find the control by searching for the parameter caption text. 3. Ensure the HTMLViewer is in rsreportserver.config. 4. Add an 'id' targeted CSS entryin HTMLViewer.cs like the following: #ReportViewerControl_ctl00_ctl07_txtValue { width: 500px } A static CSS solution involves:

For modification of the layout within the SSRS Report Manager, you will need to look at deploying the technique to the ReportingServices.css stylesheet (by default located in /Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/MSSQL.#/ReportManager/Styles, where # is your SSRS MSSQL instance --usually "2"). Because this stylesheet is not processed by ASP.NET, you would need to hard-code the value therein. For my local installation, the identifier is "ctl140_ctl00_ctl03_divDropDown". You may also have some luck placing a dynamic entry in one of the ASPX pages (perhaps Pages/Report.aspx). Good luck! Hi Darryl,

Where do I add this? the RDL or one of the reporting services files. Thanks, Can you provide a little more detail as this is exactly what I need to do.
