PDFs... Automatically open?

We setting up an intratnet site that is generating PDF output from Reporting
Services 2005.
The WWW Server for the applications is on ServerA
The SQL Server & Reporting Services are on ServerB
From ServerA we are generating a HTTP request to the Reporting Services to
generate the report.
The report is generated as a PDF.
Everything works fine, except that IE always askes if they want to Download
or Open the document.
We simply want it to not ask, and always Open the PDF.
The users will be in a locked Citrix enviornment, so even if we have to stop
it from asking for ANYTHING that is okay as well.
Any ideas?Earl, this is probably because the users have the Confirm open on download
checkbox checked for the PDF filetype. In the Windows Explorer goto Tools,
Folder options, Filetypes, find PDF, click Advanced. Same is true for many
other types like .Doc, Xsl etc.
