Application of HTMLviewer.css to reports called through Report Man

We are customizing Report Manager and have been able to get the
reportingservices.css style sheet working well.
As we will be calling reports from within Report Manager, we would like to
apply the HTMLviewer.css file to every report called through Report Manger.
This would enable us to get the same look and feel in the Report Manager as
well as the parameter area / HTML viewer.
Does anyone know if it is possible to implement this?
Thanks
DarrenHi!
Really, you have to snag the report call inside the report manager and to
replace it with your url (a call to report server which differs from the one
generated by report manager only in that it the name of css file as a
parameter - rs:StylSheet it seems to me). It's not very difficult, but
requires concentration. I can recommend a book - Hitchiker's guide to
Reporting Services by Peter Blackburn. It can be very helpful.

Thanks Ailil - so it can be done! I've actually got that book, but not
knowing Java, got a bit lost. I'll get our Java person to have a look at it
- hopefully it will be possible to pass the report string as a variable and
simply add the stylesheet command to the end.

Now I'm a bit lost ;). Why Java? Where are you going to use Java in the
Report Manager? It can be quite ok without java :), particularly if you
already have the book.

I figured that we would have to intercept the call to the Report Server as
shown on page 533, to replace the standard URL call generated by Report
Manager, with a URL where the parameter 'rc:Stylesheet = htmlviewer' is added
to the end.
Thanks

I've posted another message re changing the default htmlviewer style sheet
as the SP2 readme file says that there is a config setting where you can
change the default style sheet.
Thanks for your help.
