Report parameter read only

Got this error message while trying to load a sub-report from an existing
report and passing a parameter into the sub-report. I created the report
parameter just like it did for the source report. Please help.That means you forgot to provide a Prompt for the parameter in the
subreport.
Omitting the Prompt indicates to the server that the user should not be
prompted for a value (hence: read-only).

Report Parameter Length

We are planning on passing in an XML document as a report parameter but have
not been able to determine if there is a maximum parameter length. Does SQL
Reporting Services 2000 have a maximum parameter length?
Thanks.I can only partially answer your question... If you are passing the parameter
via URL then you are constrained by the max URL length ( might be 255 I
think)..
YOu can pass the info INSIDE the HTML which removes the URL restriction...
There are examples in Books on line - search for URL under Reporting Services

Report not rendering properly when passing prms in url

This has probably been answered before, but i cannot find the
solution.. I need to pass prms to a packlist report to pull the correct
packlist once a user is finished with a shipment in our logistics
software. Whenever i pass in the prms the report comes up, but there
are no graphics. I am also using neodynamics barcoding software and
those do not appear either.
Here is the url w/prms i am using :
http://sts-sqlsrv/ReportServer?/SCOUT+Reports/LOGISTICS/rptPacklist2&rc:Command=Render&rc:Format=HTML4.0&rc:Toolbar=True&PacklistId=060421001
Any ideas?
Thanks
JayDialDid you Deploy your graphics to the server as well?

i provide the prms in the url.|||Next question is: does the report return a result set with the parms you've
specified? I'm thinking that if no rows are returned then your graphics may
not show up either. Does this work when you preview the report using those
parms?

shots for you, but now the graphics are showing up. I thought maybe it
was a problem with the original url I was using, but when i copy and
paste from the original post everything is to be expected! Thanks for
your help!
