Freeze pane in RS 2000 SP2 / RS2005 web reports

Hi,
a lot of my users were asking me to have the possibilty of a freeze
pane (similar to excel) in the RS web reports because often the reports
are to long to see the column haeders. Especially when you have
drilldowns it would help.
Has somebody tried to implement such feature by DLL to RS 2000. Is this
feature planned for RS 2005 '
thanks
BBThe only way (that I know of) to accomplish what you're asking for is to have
a custom application that modifies the output file after it has been saved
and then forwards it to the person who initially requested it. We have one
non-RS custom application that does this (internal use only) and are working
on a way to do this with RS rendered reports.
Basically what your application has to do:
1- Client requests report
2- Application renders report in excel and saves to disk.
3- Appliation modifies the excel file properties (page margins, fit to
page, freeze panes, etc.)
4- Appliation passes modified file to the Client
It's a lot of work.
