Hello; I have a tablix-based report and I'd like users to be able to click on one of the cells and have it launch InfoPath and pass a parameter to it as I would in vb.net, something like... Process.Start("InfoPath", "myFile.xsn") Since InfoPath is a Windows Application, is it possible to lauch an application from within an SSRS report? I do know how to startuo InfoPath with parameters, so I just need to know how to launch it from SSRS. BTW - We are using SSRS2008. Any help/guidance is much appreciated. Thanks Ron...

Hi RonInOttawa, Thanks for your question. May be it is possible to achieve the target by using custom assemblies in the report. Please first create one custom assembly class with Process.Start("InfoPath", "myFile.xsn"), then build the class library, finally, use the method in the report item. You can refer to this article: How to use custom assemblies or embedded code in Reporting Services Hope it helps you. If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Hi RonInOttawa, Had you ever test previous suggestion? There is another work-around for this requirement: run application from the report directly. Detail steps as below. 1. Create one windows form application contains the Process.Start("InfoPath", "myFile.xsn") method, then rebuild the solution generate the exe file for this application. 2. Create one Text Document, type in it with the location of the windows application in the report server computer, for example: START "RunGate" "E:\Mydata\SSIS\WindowsFormsApplication1\WindowsFormsApplication1\bin\Debug\WindowsFormsApplication1.exe", save the file. 3. Rename the Text Document with a.bat, upload this document to the Report Manager website. 4. Right-click the textbox that you will add the function of clicking on then open the windows applications, select Textbox Properties, click Action in the left pane, select Go to URL, type in the drop-down list of Select URL with the URL of this bat file in Report Server, click OK. Hope it helps you. If there is anything unclear, please let me know. Thanks, Sharp Wang TechNet Subscriber Support in forum If you have any feedback on our support, please contact us.
