Reporting Services Reports in a new window

I know I am a bit rusty on the details of Reporting Services but today I was asked for a technique to open a link (Or sub-report) in a new window.

I was sure I had blogged this before but it would seem not so here it is :

The solution is to add a text box (Bound or not) and add to the “Navigation” properties the following JavaScript

="javascript:void(window.open(‘http://servername?%2freportserver%2fpathto%2freport&rs:Command=Render’))"

Replacing the url with the one to the relevant report.

I hope this helps the kit bag.

This was found on a number of blogs but here are a few
