    While clicking in a textbox, wich is suppose to redirect me to another report, I get this error message:

    'The value of the top property for the textbox 'textbox1' is negative. Negative sizes are not allowed'.

    What is the value of the top property? Is the error for a textbox on the source report? or the destination report?

    Just wondering,

  • Under which section is the 'top' property located for a textbox in SSRS ?

    I am not getting it.

    Is it under Location section which is not editable ?

  • I assume this text box is part of a table or matrix? What about the location of the parent object?

  • I don't know if you are still experiencing this problem, but what I'd suggest you do is, locate the "textbox1" in your report. Once you've selected the "textbox1", go to the properties. Look for the position property which actually lets you specify the distance of your object from the containing/parent object. Probably the "top" property is a negative size, maybe something like -0.00004mm or -2mm, whatever the case maybe, change that value to a positive number or just make it zero, anything but a negative number.

    I've already solved the problem and to be honest, don't remeber how.

    Regards!
