Hi Bill,

Here is a sample URL string for calling a Report from Sql Sel Server
reporting services (sql server 2000).  This URL includes arguments, if
the report takes arguments

Dim url As String

url=
"http://companyweb/ReportServer?/SubscriberReports/Active+Copy+Count+By+
Copy+Count&rs:Format=pdf&argListNo=24&argListSub=UD&argBeginDate=01/01/8
0&argEndDate=12/31/20&argPaidStatus=*"

The strings calls the Report server:
http://companyweb/ReportServer?/

and the directory where the report resides:
SubscriberReports/

then the report name:
Active+Copy+Count+By+Copy+Count

Note:  the + symbol is a space. Report name is
Active Copy Count By Copy Count

Then the format for the report to come out in
&rs:Format=pdf

and then the argument list:
&argListNo=24&argListSub=UD&argBeginDate=01/01/80&argEndDate=12/31/20&ar
gPaidStatus=*

Note that the arg list does not delimit the arguments.  And in the
actual RDL (the sql server report) I convert the * to a % (for Tsql
wildcards) using Replace.

Here is how you call reporting services from Access:

fHandleFile url, WIN_NORMAL

And here is the API code for fHandleFile (this is from one of the Access
MVP's)
