Creating a link to the front end - SSRS

    I have a report that lists, amongst other things, an order's reference number.

    Is it possible to create a link from this reference number back to its original record?

    By this I don't mean create a hyperlink to a website, or a link to another report - I mean literally go back to the entry someone sees in the 'front end' of the database.

    Any suggestions welcome - many thanks.

    With "frontend" you mean the application that handles the data?

    You could use a custom url such as myapplication://open-form?reference=123

    Then you need to register your application as the handler for that kind of URL and make it handle calls to open the appropriate form with the requested data.

    Not easy...

    Here's some documentation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/aa767914(v=vs.85).aspx
