Hi,
I have a report that shows contractors. Each contractor has a code and a document that uses this code for the name (i.e. ABCDEF.pdf) which is stored in a network folder.I want my report to provide dynamic links to each document on our network using this code.
I have tried javascript in the "go to url" of the text box as suggested here - http://www.bp-msbi.com/2008/09/advanced-javascript-in-reporting/
The file link shows correctly when I hover over the link, but won't open in a new window. Javascript is enabled in the browser (ie11). If i copy and paste the the URL into the browser it opens the file fine.
I also have tried build as html and changing the placeholder properties to interpret as HTML as suggested here - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14878752/ssrs-how-to-display-a-hyperlink-in-sql-services-reporting
This also shows the link correctly when I hover over, but the link is not clickable. I can right-click on the link, copy the shortcut and paste into a new tab and it opens the file, but wan the link to work and open in a new window.
Your help is greatly appreciated. This is driving me nuts!

Which browser are you using for testing?

I am using Internet Explorer 11 (IE11). Have Chrome but it doesn't show the report body at all for me.

I am using Internet Explorer 11 (IE11). Have Chrome but it doesn't show the report body at all for me.
I haven't used IE11 before. Is there a possibility to view the report in compatibility mode?

Tried this as well...
The link appears. The file path shows when you mouse-over the link (see attachment)
It just won't open. Any new suggestions would be appreciated. How can something so common be so difficult?
