Problems with excel links after applying SP 1

Hi,
I've just applied the SP 1 for Reporting Services. When I export
reports to Excel having actions linked to other reports, I've tried
the sample report -Employee summary report-, the links stopped
working. They just say Unable to open http://(myhostname)/. .. .
Cannot download the information you requested.
Has anyone succeded doing this with the new SP 1?
Is it safe to apply the new SP?

Yes this works for me. Have a look whether some URL encoding for special
characters does prevent the link from working. I had similar problems with
linking to report names containing german umlaute (I had to rename my
reports, puuuhh, good old eighties plain ASCII feeling :))
roland|||Yes, we are investigating an issue with encoded report names in links. We
are looking at options to resolve this.
