<p><span style="font-size:medium;">[font="calibri;"]I have designed a number of simple BIRT reports but I need some help.  I am using Eclipse Platform Version 3.6.2.  Our BIRT programs are executed on an iServer.[/font]</span></p><p><span style="font-size:medium;">[font="calibri;"]I am creating a report that shows data rows for validation errors on our data base.  Each error has a 4 digit code and a description that are both maintained in the data base and can be displayed in the BIRT report.  However the detailed process for how to correct the error is not maintained in our data base.  We have a document that has detailed instructions for the application user of how to correct each of these errors.  This document is updated as required by the Business Analyst and is currently maintained in MS Word.  I would like to upload a copy of this document (in pdf format or html format) to the iServer and then link to bookmarks in this document based on the 4 digit error code.  Can you please tell me how I can set up this document and link to it from the BIRT report.[/font]</span></p><p><span style="font-size:medium;">[font="calibri;"]I have attached a sample BIRT report output with link showing to ‘correction details’ and a sample Word document with text that shows how to correct this error.  This Word document would have images and detail instructions the for application user to make corrections to the data.  [/font]</span></p><p><span style="font-size:medium;">[font="calibri;"]Thank you for your help,[/font]</span></p><p><span style="font-size:medium;">[font="calibri;"]Nancy[/font]</span></p>
