Hi All,
We are getting error message while opening the SSRS 2008 report links on a Mac machine.
Below is the Error message
Safari can’t find the server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://<servername>/Reports_SQL1/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fDemo+Product+Registration%2fDemoReports” because Safari can’t find the server “<servername>”.
Please can any body help me to fix this issues
Regards,
Deepak.A

It looks to me like either the servername is wrong, or that you possibly have either a network or DNS issue.

you will not be able to use a msgbox popup as this is server-side code and will not run at the client, you 'could' try something with Javascript - I have not done this before so not sure if it would work but might be worth a try.

What i would do would be either create a front-end application that calls the report viewer controls, and perform the vailidaiton there.

Or if you don't need a popup, you could create a Label in the report that appears when the dates are incorrect.... this would be the easiest way, however it's not a popup
