linked reports lose layout - Fix it now ! ... Please

Will Katmai address the long standing bug(reported in 2005) of linked reports losing their layout from the parent?

It would be very helpful if the linked reports would access/retain the interactive page layout, page orientation and margin information stored in the base report.

See this post on Brian Welcker's blog.

As a customer I find the continued use of Brian's hack job unacceptable. This is a known bug, and as far as I can tell given Brian's work there is a known solution that should be incorporated into the reporting services product instead of forcing RS admin's to track down Brian's fix and hack their own RS db with a nightly script.

Totally bogus. The bug needs fixing.

I can't understate my frustration that this bug was never addressed properly in 2005. Now is another chance to get it right. Don't blow it.

Did you file a bug on this via the connect site (or vote on an existing bug)? I will take a look and see if I can find the bug but it doesn't hurt to file it again.

This bug already appeared twice on connect and was closed with postponed and won't fix in the status () for each repsectively.

Which frankly, doesn't seem very responsive.

I'm not very familiar with how to vote for bugs or for that matter how to vote for bugs that are already closed.

I'll have to do more research into the voting aspects.

At this point we are thinking of relogging the bug into our premeir support contract and see how it goes from there.

Thanks.
