Link to a report with parameters

I need to create a report with some parameters for filtering data.
This report must be called by URL link on an Html page.
This link must contains the values of these parameters; I don' want
specify the values when I see the report by clicking on View report button.
Is it possible? How?
What is the format of link for passing parameters to filter data?
Many thanks1. Try leaving the parameter Prompt blank... This should prevent the
parameter from displaying, (but you must provide a default value...)
2. Search for URL Access in Books on line and you will get an entire list
of all of the things you can do via URL in reporting services.
Hope this helps..

but I see some parameters that the user hasn't change!
Moreover, if I change the parameter property "User request"
by setting to false value, the call of report dumps!
The issue is partially solved! I need to pass a parameter by Url
and these parameters cannot change by a user.
Can I solve this problem URGENTLY?
Many thanks

I have followed your suggests, but the solution isn't complete:
or I see the parameter or I cannot modify the parameter
that I pass via URL (an error occurs!!!)!

them hidden. Do you have them working properly so you know your URL is
correct. Be sure that your parameter is with the correct case since RS is
case sensitive with parameters. Once you know your URL is correct because
your report works properly then you can deal with hidding the parameters.

>>|||My issue has two aspects:
1. passing a parameter via URL to call my report filtering data by the
parameter;
2. hide or protect parameter inside report manager to avoid any user's
changes.
The first step is solved. The report is called correctly and I see the
correct value
of parameter (the same written in the URL). I have written correctly the
name of parameter.
Now, when I set user request for the parameter, inside report manager, to
false
in order to hide the parameter, this message error occurs:
"sReadOnlyReportParameter" and I cannot the value of parameter by the value
in the URL.
This strange behaviour represents a limit of RS!
Moreover, I have specified a default value of parameter with a particular
value.
Now, is it really possible to solve completely this issue?
Do I have a particular SP (SP1, SP2, ...)?
Many thanks

the user request string inside report manager (maintaning a default
value for the parameter): so, I can modify the parameter by passing it
via URL and simultaneously hide it in order to avoid any user's changes.
Finally, the issue is solved!!!

LineHeight property

I am use Reporting services 2000 SP2 and discover that the LineHeight property rendered correctly only in renderers for HTML output. PDF renderer, TIFF renderer and client side printing client do not render changes in this property at all.

Is it bug in Reporting services 2000?

Can someone try to change LineHeight property in SQL Server 2005 Reporting services and verify rendering output?

The LineHeight property is only supported in HTML output (since there is direct support for LineHeight in HTML). The behavior is the same in SSRS 2000 and SSRS 2005.

Linefeed Issue

All,
Why does chr(13) +chr(10) create a new line feed in Visual Studio, but does
not when you render using IE with the HTML viewer?
Any ideas'
JimWhich build are you running?
Did you try using the predefined VB constant VbCrLf ?
E.g. ="First line" & VbCrLf & "second line"

Thanks for the reply; Yes, I tried the Vb constant but I still get
inconsistent line feeds in IE. As a solution, I had to make each line the
same character length using a combination of left() and format().
Thanks,

Line feed problem in HTML

I'm using a string in report which contains chr(10) -> Line feed characters. They show up correctly (there are several lines) in Preview screen and in pdf-format but NOT in browser. I think the browser doesn't understand those characters. Is there a way to replace them somehow with other useful keys? If there is an example would be great...

I use the equivalent of the old vbCrLf i.e. carriage return followed by a line feed, and this works fine in the HTML.

Try using Chr(13) & Chr(10) or the .NET property Environment.NewLine.

For formatting in SQL I use CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)

|||I'm sorry but I didn't get it. I have 3 rows long field in report(Fields!Address.value) and that value contains those carriage returns. So should I edit the expression of the field to find where the carriage returns are and replace them somehow?|||try Replace(Fields!Address.Value, chr(10), Environment.NewLine)
