Hi there,

I am not liking the multi select drop down list at all, very irritating to users also. For one thing it is required and there is no way to default (Select All). So is it possible to have a Report Parameter field wherein user enters partial value and a google like list comes? Is that at at all possible?

Thanks a lot!

You can indeed have a default of all. When defining the parameter, select the same query for the default as you did for the creation of the drop down.

John, you are the awesome! Now why does it startup the report though (as if I clicked View Report) I do not want that to happen.

Thanks also to Brett

Unfortunately if all parameters are selected by defaults at start up, the report is displayed. The one time that I had user complaints. I created a new parameter that had only one option and I did not create a default selection. Ugly but they liked it.
