Extra Browser window when exporting?

Hello,
I'm using the HTML Viewer and URL access to render my reports. When I change the format (for example to excel) on the HTML Viewer, and click the "export" link beside the drop down. A new browser window pops up and a save box prompting me to specify the location of where to save. After I choose the save destination, download the new formated report, and close the save box, the newly opened browser window remains open.

Is there any way to automatically close that browser window? or maybe even not show that browser window at all?

Thanks in AdvanceUnfortunatly there is no way to get rid of this extra box.|||Oh Well... Thanks for the response

External Images (URL Based) don't display on deployed reports

Hello,
I have a RS 2005 report which uses a report parameter as the source for an
image external image. When in report designer, everything works fine. When
deployed, the image shows as red x.
I am not using unattended credentials since the image is accessible without
credentials. I even tried images from microsoft.com and cnn.com
Any help would be appreciated.
-PedroHi Pedro,
Probabily the image directory is not proper. Just right click on the Red x
or view source to see where the image points to and check the directory for
your image. Better to include it in your project so that the link is not lost.

External Images - 404 Not Found and the red X image

Hello,
I have a report that is attempting to go out and grab images for certain
items off of a website. The URL is basically a guess and when it is
incorrect (404 File Not Found) RS returns an image of a red X. Is there an
expression I can use to hide the visibilty of the red X if one should appear?
I havn't been able to figure out how to do this.
Thanks!

External Image URL doesn't work !

Hi
I have downloaded SP1, and am trying to display an image by URL.
I have followed the steps described in the SP1Readme. However i am still unable to view my image in the "Preview" mode in report designer and also through report server. When i right click to view the source of my webpage, the image src is empty like this <img class="R1" src="http://pics.10026.com/?src=">.
Any idea, what can be wrong? This is what i did:
1) set in designer Source=External
2) set Value=http://localhost/Webmodule/test.img
3) image immediately showed up
4) Go to "Preview" mode in designer, image shows a red cross
5) ran rsconfig -e -m mycomputer -s mycomputer -u user1 -p password
6) deploy .rdl onto report server
7) image still shows a red cross
8) when view source, it shows <img class="R1" src="http://pics.10026.com/?src=">
I have set my datasource credentials to "credentials stored securely on report server" and provided the username and password in the report manager.
chiara.IMG is an unsupported image format. Supported are bmp, jpeg, gif, png, and
x-png.

expression question

Hi
Dose "Expression" can write any syntax such as CASE... WHEN... Structure?
I have a serial code such as B1, B2, B3.
When B1, the "jump to url" to http://b1.aspx. B2 the http://b2.aspx
I wirte this use IIF now but feel this way dosen't make sense.
So is any other way can instead of IIF?
Thanks for help! (I use RS 2005)
Anginot sure if you can use the case statement, in theory I don't see why
not. I also was getting irritated writing lengthy or having the giant
iif statements, so instead I now create methods in the Code tab and
simply pass the value into the method and return the result.
seems neater this way|||Try using SWITCH instead of IIF.
The syntax is
SWITCH(test1,option1,test2,option2,...)
compared to
IIF(test1,option1,IIF(test2,option2,IIF(...)))
It reads the comma separated sequence in pairs and executes the first
one that has a test = true.

Expression as Hyperlink

We are using SSRS SP2 in SharePoint integrated mode and when I use an
expression that results in a URL that I use for a hyperlink in a report, it
works in Visual Studio but not in report viewer. If I use a static URL it
works fine.
Upon inspection of the source that is returned by SSRS when using an
expression for the URL, it doen's even add the <a href=> tag to the resulting
HTML. It is as if SSRS won't process an expression for a hyperlink but
Visual Studio's preview will. How am I supposed to have dynamic hyperlinks
in my reports? Any ideas?Are you using jump to URL? I use an expression all the time in there but not
with Sharepoint.

This solved my problem. I still don't know why the expression by itself
doesn't produce a hyperlink but this appears to trick SSRS into rendering it.

I did the same thing but getting the following error :
"Internet explorer cannot download.Unspecified error".
The only difference is that we have a popup window that opens a server
report in PDF format using URL access and within this report there are
hyperlinks to webpages.On clicking the hyperlinks from within the report we
get the following error :
"Internet explorer cannot download.Unspecified error".
we have used javascript in the jump to URL expression:
="javascript:void(window.open('http://hostname/p/proj/project.aspx?uid=" +
Trim(Cstr(Fields!ProjectUID.Value)) + "','_blank','location=no,toolbar=no'))"
Can you guide me on this?

="javascript:void(window.open('http://www.google.com/','_blank'))"
You get "Internet explorer cannot download.Unspecified error"?
If you are trying this from the development environment it won't work. You
have to deploy to test jump to URL.

html report. That is working for you. The issue is having the link work from
a PDF. I tried some tests from PDF and Excel. Excel usually had no problem.
PDF would flash and nothing would come up.
I also tried the link without using the javascript command. That would be
erratic, sometimes working sometimes not. I think some sort of security
setting is getting in the way.

Exporting to Excel Problems (URL Access)

Hello,
I'm using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. I'm having an issues when exporting to Excel. I'm using URL Access to generate the report and display it in a browser window. I then choose Excel and click the Export link. Doing this opens a temporary browser window and then a dialog that asks if I want to save the report or open it. If I choose to open it, the report opens in Excel without problem. The problem is that the temporary browser window doesn't go away (close) automatically like it should. What makes this a little more strange is that this behavior only seem to occur on a Windows XP computer. If I run the report from a Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 computer, the temporary browser windows closes automatically (and the report is exported to Excel and opened).

Has anyone experienced this same issue?

Does anyone know how to "fix" this issue so that exporting to open right away always closes the temporary browser window?

Thanks.

I've noticed that issue without using URL access. My users love exporting to Excel, and it bugs me when I test exporting, and have windows open all over the place. I'd like to know what the fix is as well. I imagine it is just an IE thing, and there's nothing we can do about it.|||

Did you fine an answer for this one. I am experiencing the same issue.

Thanks for help in advance.
