Hi all.
First let me to point out that I'm new to SRSS and perhaps my question is elemental but I've searched and I don't understand one thing about page break on a table.
I have a table with large content and I want to insert a page break after 25 rows. At this point I've inserted a group with the =Ceiling(RowNumber(Nothing)/25) expresion and this, in fact insert the page break...but:
The 2nd page I've ths content of the table at position (0,0) not the same position that the table at the first page.
How I can do to set the same position that has the table on the 1st page?
What I'm missing?

I'm not sure I understand what your saying... Can you clarify exactly what you mean? Is the table not appearing in the same location on the 2nd page? Is there a page header for the 2nd page, that perhaps by virtue of being missing, allows the table to move upward? Please be descriptive about what result you do get, as well as what result is desired.

Sorry I'll try to explain better:
I'm trying to cut to 25 row the content of a table. I'm doing it through adding a group to table with the expression "=Ceiling(RowNumber(Nothing)/25)" and setting "Insert Page break at end" in the group.
This creates a new situation:
On large reports the page breaks at row 25, true. But the rest rows remains in the new page at position (0,0) not the same (x,y) that has the table in the first page.
This is troubling me because I'm using an image background as a visual template. And the contents of the second page are disorganized.
Now you can understand my problem? I need to put the result of a table page break at the same location of the 1st page in the second page.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, but you need to be more detailed about where the table is placed within the report definition. Is it in the page header, page footer, or body? If for any reason you don't have a page header, how is the table supposed to know where to start on the new page?
In thinking about the answer, start thinking about treating the report layout as if every page had to fit in using the exact same specification. If there's no header for the page, then every page starts at the top. Margins can also affect where things appear, so check those as well. Also, you need to take into account those margins in determining how wide your canvas for report objects is. For example, that canvas can't be 8.5 inches wide for regular paper without a 0 inch margin, or things can get cut off. Does that help?

I've checked all things into account:
I've the table in the body of the report and I haven't a page/report header because I have an image in the page background doing as a visual template for the document. Because of this I don't have the header because the I have the header in the image.
It's indispensable to have a page header to put the contents at specific location in a page break?

I think the problem here is knowing exactly where your page starts. If you have no page header, a page break with a group might involve a group header repeating (or NOT repeating), and thus, the answer still "depends" on the exact conditions. Look for a group header that appears on the 1st page, but not on subsequent pages, or other similar items from your table. This can affect where things end up. Also check for any other "conditional" appearances. Save actually looking at your report, I'm not sure what the situation is.
