    Thank you for using POST rather than GET. If you're even thinking about about using URL requests with RS, please do it this way and, preferably, use HTTPs.

    Thanks for the post, Bryan.

    I would like to ask that If there is a way to change link in html output. What I want to do is that When you use this post example all of the hyperlink come with like href="localhost/reportServer/report1". I want to change this hyperlink to point to my custom aspx web page.

    Hi Bryan,

    This issue might not be quiet similar to above task. But a bit similar.

    We are using "ReportViewer" (which is part of Sample applications that comes
    with Reporting Services) in one of our web pages.
    It works fine when rendered with an URL of a report.
    But the problem is when a report has a link to another report with in it,
    and when the link is clicked it opens the target report within the same
    window closing our web application, and directly opens the report using the
    ReportServer URL.

    How can we contain this link's behaviour so that the target report opens up
    in the report viewer frame only which is within the web page.

    When use URL Access, Using Parameter Prefixes on a URL (dsu/dsp), Can report server automatically check the username/password or need extra to check?

    If need extra code to check, how to get the username/password from the URL?

    Thanks in advance,
    Alex

    Hi Raj Chidipudi,
    We are also faced with the same problem. We had observed about the replacement root command from report manager. But we are not successful implementing it. Can you tell me what you had done in the custom page to handle the links.

    MTIA.
