  • Hi,

    Thanks

  • I've never done it but it shouldn't be too difficult. Just select the element (textbox, table cell, image, etc) you want to open the doc and go to properties>>navigation. There you can specify a link to the document.

    cheers,

  • I have managed to get there !! but still have a number of points

    I uploaded a HTML file into Report Manager and created the following expression within the navigation properties on my report....

    =Globals!ReportServerUrl & "?" & Globals!ReportFolder & "/" & Trim(Fields!FileName.Value)

    This launches the HTML file perfectly.... but out side of Report Manager i.e. the Report Manager header disappear   Where as if you click on the HTML document (manually) within Report Manager the HTML document displays within the Report Manager... strange!!

    Any ideas how I could keep the Report Manager Heading for navigation etc??

    I have attempted to append '&rc:Toolbar=true' onto the url but this has not affect

    All ideas welcome

    Cheers
