Hopefully this will be pretty simple! I've googled around but apparently I'm the only person in existence with this issue. When I go to Export my report as a PDF, a dialog box opens that only has options for Save and Cancel. I want either:
An Open option on that window so the report opens in whatever PDF viewer
The report to open automatically AFTER the user saves it as whatever filename they want.
Note that I don't want it to save automatically, but provide them some option to open it AFTER they've saved it.
This is based on the users browser, and has little or nothing to do with SSRS.

Is there a way to develop a SSRS report with a link which opens an attachment(PDF,DOC,DWG,JPEG etc) which is stored in the server database.
The action tab in the text box properties is probably going to be the most helpful to you. In there you can have it go to another report which could contain the document you want or if you have it stored in some URL, that works as well. The action happens when they click on the text box.
I have downloaded one of the system generated reports from CRM 2011, it saved as a .RDL file which I then opened and modified.
My question is, how do I then upload the modified report back to CRM. I have tried using the report wizard and searching for the existing file however it just kicks back an error message:
Query Build Error:
The specified record type does not exist in Microsoft Dynamics CRM.
It has not been developed on the SSRS or using BIDS, and I haven't created it using FETCH, all I have done is save the report to my desktop, modify some of the record names and then try to upload it again.
It is starting to annoy me now because having searched through the length of google and nearly every post I have seen has stated this is the exact way to upload custom reports.
Is there any reason why it is not working for me?
Go to Workplace.
Click on Reports Entity.
Click on New Report.
Select Report Type as Existing File.
Click on Browse and select the .rdl Report file.
It won't let you upload the file that way. You need to either edit an existing report or create a new report.

Reports
Click New
Report Type:Existing File
Choose File
Finish filling out required fields

SSRS - In Report Viewer we allow users to output to PDF and Excel. However, when they drill down to a linked report then hit the blue back button to get to the parent report, they are then able to export to all of the standard SSRS export options; XML, CSV, MHTML, TIFF, etc.
In SQL Profiler I see the queries from for both reports, but when I hit the back button I don’t see anything, so I’m assuming everything is handled in report viewer. Any ideas?
This is stupid that I can't figure out how to do this. I'm in the SQL Reporting Services Report Manager website. I have some reports in a folder. I want to copy those reports to a different folder so that I can point those reports to a different datasource. I still need the original reports in their original folder, pointing to their original datasource.
It's very easy to select reports via checkbox and use the Move functionality, but there doesn't appear to be a way to copy?
Any ideas.
There is no easy way to copy reports in report manager.
I wrote a tool to help me copy reports between servers, you can use the same to copy on the same server too.

I know this question is old but here is how I copy a report to another folder:
I open the original report in Report Builder and use 'save as'.
Only way I know is manually, one by one. This is in SQL2005.
Navigate to the location of the report(s)
Show details
Click the Edit icon next to the report
On the General tab under the "Report Definition" section, click "Edit"
This prompts a Save File dialogue box. Save the .rdl file somewhere.
Repeat ad nauseum...
Now you can import those reports you've just saved to your new location.
After I wrote this I saw this was the same answer as jimconstable above! Damn!
This is a little late, but just in case someone else stumbles upon this thread. I find the easiest way is to click the drop down arrow to the right of the report you would like to copy. Select "Edit in Report Builder". Once that's open just "Save As". Works like a charm.
Within the Browser, if you open the folder then use the drop down there is a Download option.
I compared the file sizes between download and save-as and found them different, so I prefer the download option.
I don't think these is a simple way to do this. You could pull them all out by going to each report->properties tab->edit. This will let you download the report. Then you can upload it again to another folder. But that sounds like a PITA.
You would be probably be best off the upload from the BIDS to a different folder.
I have a report in SSRS that needs to disable the "Export" functionality based on who the User is. Is this do-able? And, is it possible to disable all Export options except the PDF option
Thanks
Mike
Upon research, I found the below URL that basically says you can't disable "Export" on a report by report basis....only pre server. Also, it looks like, when using the ReportViewer control on an aspx page, you can disable "Export" types. The author suggest that SSRS incorporate this in the Reports Manager.
