open a report in a new window??

Hi guys.. quick question.
We are using SRS.
When using my browser, i can find my list of reports...
the problem that my users want fixed.. is they want to click on a
report... and have it open in a new window.
so the main list of reports always stays open.. and also so they can
run more than 1 report at a time so they can compare things.
I told them to right click, open in new window... but they want it to
be automatic.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,...Use TARGET= in the tag for the report link - it will then open a new window
(instead of an HREF)

your list.
If you type in the url as this, the links work like a charm
http://servername/reports/Pages/Folder.aspx?ViewMode=webpartList
This will change the colours of your page to a SharePointy blue, but that
can be changed in your code if you don't like it. If you want the detailed
look, you use viewmode=webpartdetails.

I can't find where to do this.
Thanks,
Use TARGET= in the tag for the report link - it will then open a new
window
(instead of an HREF)|||I meant that when you specify that a label is a link, you can specify the
url - well use TARGET= in the link.

there isn't any code to edit on the srs reports page... everything is
in the assembly and controlled by SRS...|||You have to have your own web page. If you were providing the link of
reports then you could do this by changing the URL. In this case however you
are using Report Manager. You do not have control of how Report Manager
works. So, your choice is to either have your own webpage that integrates
wtih Report Server (I.e. do not use Report Manager) or tell your users to
open up multiple copies of IE.
