Right Pane of Report

I have a report where I have setup a table and am using a subreport for the header and using the Page footer for the footer (Subreports can't be used in traditional Page Headers. I also have a Right pane. What i'd like to do is create a table that will use the space that isn't the header/footer/right pane for the body of a report but I can't seem to figure it out.
Is there any absolute positioning in RS? I'd love to be able to take the right pane (which is just a rectangle with sub-items) and say, please print this at x,y on every page. Am I asking too much?
My alternative approach (which I don't love) is to create an image of the template and use it as a page background, then draw the data over the the image. But that is hard to maintain long-term.
Ideas? Please?
Thanks,

http://magenic.comI haven't tried what you're doing yet, but am very interested in it. Are
you using rectangles to size and position elements? I'm finding that
placing items in rectangles gives me much more control over how they render
relative to each other.

Revision Date

I would like to be able to include the report revision date as part of a
footer. I would like to get this date automatically from the date the report
was last saved or the date of the RDL file itself.
Can any one provide any advice or suggestions about how to do this?
Thanks!Matthew, there are two ways you can do this...
Write a code block to get it from the report itself, OR, if you are using
code to render the report, then just pass in the date as a parameter for the
report itself as the catalogItem will have the creation as well as the
modification date for the report item (or any item for that matter in RS).
