Report Builder Command Line Launch for local report
Hi, I've seen that Report Builder 2.0 can be launched to edit a report from report viewer when browsing reports on the report server, and i'm trying to replicate that functionality for local reports. i've got an application that generates reports automatically and saves the rdl files to hard drive. It also allows the user to open up report builder 2.0 from its menu options, where the users will go and open the report they want to edit and work on it. what i'm looking to do though, is use that call that i have to start report builder and expand it so that the report that the users just saved opens up automatically, rather than them having to look for it. if it's possible to open reports from the server, i'm sure it can be done for local ones too? thanks NemanjaNemanja Cvetkovic

Hi Nemanja, You are right. If the Report Builder is installed locally, we can use the following command to start the report buider, and open a specifiy report automatically: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\Report Builder 2.0\MSReportBuilder.exe" "D:\Color.rdl" If the Report Builder is not installed locally, we can use the following command: http://<servername>/reportserver/reportbuilder/reportbuilder.application?/reportFolder/reportName The following article details the command: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bobmeyers/archive/2006/01/24/report-builder-launch-parameters.aspx If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
