Hi,

You can use HTML item instead of Hyperlink.

Drag and drop the HTML in to the list. And double click and insert the following script,

'<A href="URL"target="_blank">New Window< /A >'

Replace URL with your website URL and in place of New Window you can write any text that will appear as link on the report.

If you have the URL as a data item in the query then you can use this script instead.

'<A href="' + [Query].[link] + '" target="_new">TEXT< /A >'

Just make < /A > without spaces. I cannot do that because it is giving something like [/url].

Regards,

Rams.
