Report service and automatically creating a PDF report.

woundering if there's a way for the user to automatically create a PDF report
via a report button.
Currently when users click the report button the users web interface opens
(would like to not the the web interface just create the PDF without any
interaction) then the user is prompted to open/saved/cancel.
Is it possible to click on the so called report button and automatically
create the PDF? no dialog boxes appering just create the PDF?
Is this a workstation issue with internet exploier?
Running the 2000 version of SQL & it's counter part of reporting services.

MikeHi Mike,
Well I'm using RS 2005 and all the latest stuff here, so I'm not sure
if it'll work but here goes. From a website, my users click a button
and I then do this in C# my code :
//*******************************
string url;
int idStage =3D Convert.ToInt32(lblIdStage.Text);
int annee =3D Convert.ToInt32(lblAnnee.Text);
int idTrimestreAdmission =3D
Convert.ToInt32(lblIdTrimestreAdmission.Text);
url =3D
"http://xxxxx.xxxxx.ca/ReportServer?/Rapport_xxxx/Etxxxge";
url +=3D "&rs:Format=3DPDF";
url +=3D "&idStage=3D" + idStage;
url +=3D "&annee=3D" + annee;
url +=3D "&idTrimestreAdmission=3D" + idTrimestreAdmission;
url +=3D "&idDomaineFormation=3D" +
Convert.ToInt32(Session["IdDomaineFormation"]);
Response.Redirect(url);
//*******************************
This basically pop up a acrobat reader with my report in it.
Hope it helps, cheers.
