I have deployed my reports to the ReportServer. My plan is to create a page that has url links to each report. How would I set it so that when they go to the report, the only thing that shows is the report? For now when they go there, they would see the Home|My Subscription|Help.

Chris one of the selections in the export drop down is OWC (office web components). This translates to a URL when you run the report, so they ONLY get the report.

So in your app just use that hyperlink to open the report only. Try it out, export the report to that format (I think it is called OWC) and then look at the address bar. Use that URL.

In the future you can dynamically send parameters using that same url..go ahead try it out with all your reports. Works a treat for me.

Jon,

FOr the HTMLOWC url, when I use that it adds in the parameter. Is there a way to go to the report without the parameter in the URL and have it not to try to generate the report first without the user entering the parameter?

I guess what I'm aiming at is when you first click on the report from Report Manager. It takes you to a page with parameters.

From there I want to exclude the menus that I stated from the earlier post.

Got it to work now.

Went to the ReportServer page and then ran the reports from there.

Thanks.
