I have a main/summary report which returns a list of records. Each record on this main report contains a link to a detailed report for more information on that particular record. That all works just fine. But on my detailed report, I want to provide a button to allow the user to easily "go back" to the original report.
I noticed that at the top of my detailed report is a toolbar, with icons to print, search, etc., so this seems like the place where it would be nice to have another icon with the back arrow that would be linked to the original report. The user can use the Back button on the browser, but I think it would be much nicer to provide a Back button on the report itself.
Is there any easy way to go about doing this?
Can anyone give me any pointers?
Thanks,
Beth
The new ReportViewer controls in VS 2005 have this functionality. The button is hidden by default in the ReportViewer web control, but you can enable it by setting ReportViewer.ShowBackButton = true.
|||Oh, my fault - I forgot to mention that I am using SQL Server Reporting Service 2000 and VS 2003.Is there a different mechanism to use for this configuration?
Thanks,

One thing I have done is to use a text box on the last report and then then put some text in there, like "Back to Original Report -->" and then navigate to the original report. The users don't seem to mind.

|||where to add this code to get the backbutton..Please tell me procedure to add back button by this method..
Thanks a lot.
|||I've done it on a few of my reports. In my case i save my where clause in a parameter called @.Previous and pass it to the drilldown report. Then in my drilldown report i have a textbox which i have set to call my original report with @.Previous parameter. To make i look more like a button i've given the textbox a picture background.
Basically i am running the original report again and passing it its original parameters. Its not quite like adding a button to the toolbar, but it works. Hope this helps.
|||Thanks dear. But i know it works at the same time it takes me to the original refreshed report with default parameters. I want the button so that the user can go to the exactly previous page. Also if the back button can appear in the VS then it should come in report manager too.
Please somebody let me know the procedure.
|||Does anyone know how/where to set the ReportViewer.ShowBackButton = True for reportmanager.
|||While Report Manager does use a version of the viewer control internally, it doesn't expose the viewer API to the end user, so there is no way to enable this button through Report Manager. It is only available on the standalone control.|||Brian,
Is this something that will be included in a Hotfix / SP? Going back to the parent report by using the Browser back button just causes the parent report to sit there and not process. Obviously a usabilty issue ( I can get around for now by using Jump to URL and forcing a new window to pop-up but it would be better not to have to go that route).
|||I send my report parameters directly from my UI and pass them all into a parameter called @.Criteria in my report (In my reports i pass @.Criteria into the WHERE clause in the query) ). And this is the parameter i pass to my drill-through report to a parameter @.Previous. My back button then calls the original report with exactly the same parameters (@.Previous is passed into the where clause in the original report).
Of course there is a hard way to do it. Pass all the original report parameters to the drill through report to dummy parameters which aren't used and then when you press the back button send all the same parameters back to get your orginal report.
|||I'm not sure if this is what everyone is after but perhaps this will help. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1327767&SiteID=1
