Remove "top of report" when published via ASP call

Sorry the subject is a little vague!

I am issuing reports via ASP pages. I inherited this setup from my predecessor, who has a cycling "Sales Board" that calls reporting services pages from a script. All other pages do not have the light colored band across the top in which you can add parameters, click the "View Report" button etc. I have now created a new report and this band is there - can anyone please tell me how I can get rid of it for the purposes of display The parameters are fed into the report from the ASP page.

Thanks in advance

    Yup, tried that - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. VERY weird. I think I need to look deeper at my ASP code.

    I meant the parameters bar! But I think I've sussed it. I cannot find a way of removing it via a gui (tick box etc) but if I add in

    &rc:Parameters=false

    to the call to my report - the parameter bar dissappears - fantastic! Shame it wasn't as easy as selecting a tick box though. I am suer that others would want to do this also

    Thanks John.

    I am using rc:toolbar=false but am seeing the "green circle" and the toolbar at the top - HOWEVER I am getting a yellow triangle in the bottom left of the browser that is telling me that there has been a script error - me suspect this may be the issue. I will investigate.

    And I spoke too early! The ASP page now just sits there with the revolving green circle, telling me that the report is being generated, when it clearly isn't. If I navigate to the report and run it, all is fine and it runs in a couple of seconds.

    Can you post the entire URL you are using
  • SASMJS

    have you tried rc:Toolbar=false

    rc:toolbar=false should never generate the "green circle" because we bypass the viewer control which is responsible for showing that while the report is rendering. Instead, the server pushes the report HTML straight out the HTTP response stream. If you are seeing the green circle, I would venture to guess that you are not adding the rc:toolbar=false to all of your URLs. You might want to check the IIS logs to see which requests are not using it.
