Invalid Path message

In the following code, I received an error on

execInfo = rsReportExec.LoadReport(strReportPath, strHistoryID). The errro was "System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The path of the item "http://localhost/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?/CAITReports/rptIssuesByRole&rs:Command=Render&intProjectID=119&nvchrWhoRan=DYW" is not valid. The path must be less than 260 characters long and must start with slash. Other restrictions apply. > Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.InvalidItemPathException: The path of the item "http://localhost/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?/CAITReports/rptIssuesByRole&rs:Command=Render&intProjectID=119&nvchrWhoRan=DYW" is not valid. The path must be less than 260 characters long and must start with slash. Other restrictions apply.

I copied and pasted the path on the URL and it worked. What did I miss in the code? Why strHistoryID is required as it is nothing? Please refer to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.wssux.reportingserviceswebservice.rsexecutionservice2005.reportexecutionservice.render.aspx

byteResult = rsReportExec.Render(strFormat, Nothing, strExtension, strEncoding, strMineType, wrnWarnings, strStreamIDs)

Response.ClearContent()

Response.AppendHeader("content-length", byteResult.Length.ToString)

Response.ContentType = "application/MSWord"

Response.BinaryWrite(byteResult)

Response.Flush()

Response.Close()

End Sub

Thanks.

The report path should be like /ReportFolder/ReportName

What you have given is URL. Check it for yourself in the msdn link you have given. There is nothing to do with hitory id.
