phill i ve used render method in my webapplication n in return got the report in bytes then i ve encoded it to text n replaced the "<a " with "<a target=_blank" in order to open the hyperlinks in the new window but for all this i had to make my own customized report viewer(Web application) n have to use reporting services class (SOAP API) but as u r saying that whats abt setting '_blank' as the target could not make me understand what u want to say but it sounds that its bit easier solution

as i ve understood u want to set "_blank" as target somewhere in the report but how could it b possible plz if u kindly explain it what to write in the expression n where thanxs in advance

You put it in the document map label. This is a standard thing for hyperlinks. You can also use _self, _top, _parent, etc...

From Books Online,

"Advanced Textbox Properties (Navigation Tab)

Use the Navigation tab of the Advanced Textbox Properties dialog box to define navigation options for the text box.

Options

Document map label

Type or select a label or an expression that evaluates to a label. Click the expression (fx) button to edit the expression. The value of the label appears on the document map."

I know that this is super old, but when I was searching for a solution to this problem this was the first hit google picked up, so I am going to reply, so that no one else has to keep searching. The best answers I found were http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/smartreports.mspx and http://mssqltips.com/tip.asp?tip=1283 The first show how to open in window of specific size without tool bars, other just shows open new window with screen shots. Anyways, the syntax looks like this

="javascript:void(window.open('PUT YOUR URL HERE'))"

Hope this helps... Sarah
