Is it possible to deploy reports on server and view it from client machines

Hi,

I'm a newbie to reporting service.

I deployed a report on the server. When I viewed it on the server by entering the URL of http://localhost/reports$SQLExpress, everything's fine. When I tried to view it form a client machine on http://MyServerName/reports$SQLExpress, it failed. I did assign a role to the client user. I'm just wondering whether it is possible to do this.

I'm using SQL Express, the server runs win2003 server and the client machine runs winXP.

What was the error message? What authentication method are you using for reporting services?

sluggy

The error message was"The page cannot be displayed. The page you are looking for is currently unavaiable. blah...blah...".

I use Windows authentication for reporting service. Thanks!

You are probably hitting the double-hop problem with IIS

The fix is to store the credentials for accessing the datasource in the report server.

Is it possible to customize the look of the parameters form?

Hi all...
When a report is viewed in web browser, a parameters form appear at the top
of the screen so that user can enter parameters and then press View Report.
Is it possible to display a title before that form? or to customize the
colors and fonts for that form?
Thanks

htmlviewer.css stylesheet. Supposedly if you have installed the hot fix for
sp2 then you should find a proptery called htmlviewrstylesheet which you can
set to any style sheet you have created to be th edefault for all reports but
I havent found this.
so in the url of the reports when they are called from another web page I
use the command rc:Stylesheet=stylesheetname

Sorry for the dumb question but this is my 2nd day on reporting
services and i'm trying to get to grips with it very quickly|||Hi Jim,
&rc:Parameters=False is an option.
(have a look here:

custom parameter form using either VB.NET or C# and using ReportViewer
control to actually show the report.
