Rendering problem in browser

I have a basic report with 3 text boxes. The first text box contains a title
and two smaller text boxes. The two smaller textboxes contain a string
"Report Created:" and the date and time the report was created. The layout in
VS is correct, it is correct in the preview within in VS. When I export the
report to Adobe, Excel, etc. it is correct. However, when I deploy the report
it is not correct. The two smaller text boxes are below the main text box.
Below is an example of how I want it to look and how it looks in preview,
Adobe, Excel, etc..
|----|
| Report Title
|
|
|
|
|
| -- --
|
||Report Created:||Date and Time| |
| -- --
|
|
|
|----|
Table data
And this is how it looks in a browser:
|----|
| Report Title
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|----|
|Report Created:|
|Date and Time|
Table data
Does anyone have any thoughts about what is going on or any suggestions on
how to correct this. I have deleted and recreated the report several times, I
have changed the properties on all the text boxes (grow, shrink, etc.) and no
luck.

Your textboxes could be too close to each other. Either move them
apart, or use the header row(s) in your table instead. You can also
consolidate these 2 textboxes into 1 and set its value to:
= "Report created: " & Now()|||Thanks for your help, I combinded both textboxes to one and it stil shows up
under the main textbox.

Hmm, the example you provided showed Report Title on top and 2 smaller
textboxes underneath (i.e. in 2 rows) while after deployment you were
getting them in 3 rows...
Anyway, if spreading textboxes apart doesn't help (also make sure they
do not overlap), use a table instead - this is always a much cleaner
solution, no surprises. I stopped using textboxes a long time ago for
this very reason (flawed positioning), and only use them for
well-isolated fields and labels. Tables can have multiple header and
footer rows, plus you can have separate tables consisting only of
header and/or footer rows, which you can use to substitute report
headers/footers and page headers/footers.
