Deployment issue - users cannot view reports

Hi All,
I am having some difficulty allowing users to view reports. I have
developed a series of reports on RS and deployed them to Report Manager.
However It is only myself that can view the reports on report mnanager -
whenever anyone else tries to log on and view them they get a blank page -
what am i doing wrong?
Thanks and HAPPY XMAS!!

It may sound like a stupid question but ... have you checked their
permissions!
If they can see the Report Manager, but not see any reports, then the
security on the reports is too tight.
As administrator you will be able to click on properties and security
of the various folders and reports and add the appropriate users or
groups.
After that you will need to make sure the Datasources have suitable
logon credentials set too.
Regards (and merry christmas!)

Could this be the same as Greg's problem?

property. See

Yes i think Brian is right - What Chris said helped me out - I had not
previously defined the permissions for my user group. Think yours may be a
separate issue.
Thanks Chris!

<ReportServerExternalURL> value, so it was trying to use the internal
address when rendering the report. Completely different issue.
