How to stop automatic excution of a report?

Hi,

I have a report containing one multi-value parameter with default values given. When open I report in Report Manager, report executes automatically. I need to stop this automatic execution of report. I need to give user an option to check if default values are ok for him or not. Is there any way other than removing default value from parameter to do this?

Thanks in anticipation.

Sorry, there is no way to achieve this behavior in Report Manager. You need to remove the default value, otherwise the report will render.|||

It is unfortunate that this was not considered as a requirement during development. However, you can work around this by adding an additional report parameter. Add a Start Report parameter as a string with 1 non-queried availabIe value like 'Yes'. The report will not render until the user selects the only available option for that parameter. Its not the best solution but is a viable workaround to the default rendering problem.

Rather than use default parameters in a report why dont you make the report show a list of valid values e.g. from a query and the user will sellect appropriate value.
e.g.

A report uses a paramater param1; create a dataset with a sql query that generates valid values and make your report parameter populate from this dataset. You can set the default value to null so that the report prompts for the parameters from the valid list.
