If you are intercepting the PDF as stream before you send it to ASP, you should be able to save it to whatever location, unless I'm misunderstanding what your requirements are ...

Hi bnruser,

I am just starting with Cognos and I would also like to be able to run Cognos reports from ASP.NET. Would you mind sharing some of the details of how accomplished running the reports from the URL? I am also curious if you are passing a database username/password in your URL. My end goal would be to pass the database connection and also a minimum of one parameter. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Neil

When you use url you can not path the authentication and you have to log in before browsing the report.
Did you use anonymous reports?
