ReportViewer formatting

All,
I am having an issue with a fairly standard implementation of the
ReportViewer control in an Asp.net application.
I have several fairly strait forward reports, but am having problems with
one that contains several tightly aligned textboxes. I am using a grid
spacing of '0.0625in'.
When designed in Visual Studio, or when exported to PDF, the report renders
fine. However, when viewed in the ReportViewer, several of the text boxes
have been resized or moved.
I am wondering if there are some best-practices that I could utilize in
designing this report. Is there a grid spacing that renders better?
Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated!
Pierson2 differences that I have discovered:
1) ReportViewer does not consistently render textboxes that overlap(even
slightly) it compensates for this by realigning them. Exports do handle
overlaping textboxes.
2) If you use a bordered textbox as a 'checkbox', change the text size to
1pt. ReportViewer increases the textbox size to fit text, even if there is
no text supplied.
Hope this helps someone!

items in some renderers and will move/resize items if needed.
