Reference report outside of current project

Hi, I am migrating across some reports from 2000 and some of the
reports reference reports outside of the current project when a person
clicks on a value.
In the report designer under Navigation -> Jump to report the report
has the following value
\parentFolder\Report Name
Under 2005, when I try to do this I get the following error
Item names cannot contain the following reserved characters ;?:@.&=+$,
\*<>|"
So, how can I navigate to a report outside the current folder/
project?
Thanks for any help

You can either add the report to the current project (via right-
clicking the Reports folder in the Solution Explorer and select Add ->
Existing Item) -or- you can access the outside report via Jump to URL
(assuming you have already uploaded it to the Report Server). Hope
this helps.

Hi Enrique, I need to pass parameters between the reports so I doubt
that I will be able to use the "Jump to URL"
So, there is no way of climbing up a directory like I did in 2000/
2003?
Thanks
Markus
