KBA-01009: Why does my report output want to download when I try to run it?

Question:

When running a deployed report whose name includes the word attachment, I get a File Download message saying ‘Some files can be harmful…‘, and I can choose to save or open the file, but it won‘t display the report.  How can I fix this?

Answer:

Remove the word Attachment from the report name.

Additional Comments:

This is a Microsoft SQL Reporting Services issue.  Last verified April 6, 2004.
