I have a report that has parameters. The report is called from a webpage using URL access. I know how to remove the toolbar or parameters with "&rc:Toolbar=false or &rc

For this type of customization of report manager, you will probably need to create your own application in Visual Studio 2005 and use a report viewer.
Report manager is not very customizable.
|||How difficult would it be to write a program to display the parameters like Reporting Services does and to use the selected parameter to refresh the report like Reporting Services does? Any samples?
Fred
|||You can do this by linking to the report via the reportserver virtual directory rather than the report manager.
Try navigating to http://<your_server>/reportserver and then click through to your report. You will see that the report parameters and toolbar are still visible. Copy the URL and get your application to link to that instead.
|||Adam,
Yes, this displays the parameters and toolbar, but it also displays the header information which is above the parameter section. I do not want my endusers to see this information ( as mentioned in the first post in this series). This information allows the user to navigate Report Manager which will confuse them. I only want them to see the report with the parameters and toolbar.

|||Fred,
Can I suggest that you actually try the solution or read the post properly before commenting!
My suggestetion is based on a live system and I assure you it delivers exactly what you have desribed.
When I navigate to my report using the following URL https://servername/reportserver?%2fReports%2fReport+1&rs:Command=Render
I see this:
If I add &rc: parameters=collapsed to the URL I get this:
I popup my window from a piece of javascript where I use the following code:
Code Snippet
function openReport(name, parameters)
{
if(typeof(parameters) == "undefined") parameters = "";
var encodedName = name;
while(encodedName.indexOf(" ") != -1)
{
encodedName = encodedName.replace(" ", "+");
}
encodedName = escape(encodedName);
var URL = "/reportserver?%2fReports%2f"
+ encodedName
+ "&rs:Command=Render&rc:parameters=collapsed"
+ parameters;
var features = "resizable=yes"
+ ",location=no"
+ ",menubar=no"
+ ",status=no"
+ ",toolbar=no"
+ ",width=" + screen.width
+ ",height=" + screen.height
+ ",top=0"
+ ",left=0";
window.open(URL, "", features).focus();
return true;
}
|||Adam,
I apologize. I did not read your post correctly. I was using Report Manager and navigated to my report from the home page. Once I used the ReportServer directory I saw that it was exactly what I wanted.
Thank you,
Fred
