I have report that I want to pass the parameter of the cell clicked on to an asp .Net page. Under the navigation I entered the URL of
http://local/local.aspx?Unit= =First(Fields!unit_name.Value, "AllUnits")

but of course it doesn't process the field. Is there any way to call an aspx page and pass it the value of the field being clicked on? I tried google and search of the forum but I can't seem to find a good example of this.

Check out the article "URL access" in SQL Server Reporting Services Books Online.

Seems to give a lot of information about how to pass parameters to a report using a URL but not how to pass parameters to a webpage using a URL.

The mechanism is identical, whatever other details you need are documented in the Visual Studio and .Net Framework help. Look for "Request" and "Querystring" as well.

I found my problem I needed to change the URL to

"http://local/local.aspx?Unit=" & Fields!unit_name.Value

I wonder why this was so hard that no one could just give me this example.

I wonder why it was so hard for you to research the answer in the first place.

It wasn't listed in the article... I determined it from trial and error.

Fireloard thanks for the example. That also helped me out.

I've been in situations where you are now, where it could take someone 2 seconds to tell me what it is but instead tell me where to look and don't find the answer or will need to dig in for about 30minutes or more to find the answer.

I'm not sure why you guys think that we shouldn't direct you to the place that has the information. You do realize that we answer questions for free, right? Granted we do provide exact answers occasionally, but it depends on the level of information provided in the initial post. But, I didn't have the exact answer to the question so I led him to an article that I thought was appropriate.
