sql server reporting services : Report Viewer Question

I am using rs on a SQL 2000 DB and have an application built using VWDE 2005
to display reports. I installed the ReportViewer control and set the
appropriate URL and report path. When I open the page, I first get a popup
to enter the password (is there a way to avoid this?) and then I get what
looks like a report manager window on the screen. I have to navigate to my
reports, select the one I want and then click on the "Full Screen" icon to
see the report.

How can I get a page to simply present the report when opened?

Is the RS installed on SQL 2000 DB RS 2005 or RS 2000. If you are going to
use the new controls to display reports you need to have RS 2005 installed
(which can use a SQL Server 2000 DB, that is what I am doing).

If you want it hardcode during design then using the for Report Path (click
on the upper right of the control to fill in the report tasks) put in
something like this: /MyFolder/MyReport not sure if case sensitive but it
could be. For your server this is what I have: http://Myserver/ReportServer

The RS is on a SQL Server 2000 (NOT 2005). It is a service I buy - I don't
own the server.

I am pretty sure that the server needs to be RS2005. Looking at the info on
the controls it specifies RS 2005 for the server report. If you service
upgrades to RS 2005, they can continue to host RS 2000 reports. RS 2005 is
supposed to be backward compatible.

Thanks for the information - I'll check with my service provider.
