Hi All
I link to a report passing parm a,b,c (3 parms) a (Hidden), B(Multi Selection), C(Single selection), the report display correctly and the parm selection boxes display with available options.
I would like to be able to choose from the selection boxes and replace the initial (passed parameters) B and C would have a new value, and display the same report using the selected criteria.
Thank you

I can't understand what you are asking. You want to link to the same report with new parameter values? Or you want to just select different values? Maybe another example would help.|||
Hi Brian
I like to select different values.
report A link to report B using parm1 and parm2.
Parm1 passes value 'A', parm2 is spaces (space is interpreted as select all records
matching the other criteria, ex. if there are 5 records all of them will be retieved), the new report storedProc retrieve the data that I would like to use to initialize parm2.
I cannot initialize parm2 with the result value from the SP (5 records value), I get forward dependencies are not valid.
Currently I created a new parm3, initialize it with the SP values, I can select 1 or more of the 5 displayed records (multi value box) and that work ok.
Is there a way to re-use parm2 without adding parm3 so no changes need to be done to the SP?
Hope this help you understand, thank you for your time.

|||You probably have based the Valid Values list query used for parm 2 dependent on parm2. This is a circular reference. You need to have the 3rd report parameter and you use the second one as a seed value.|||Hello Brian,
I've read your previous reply about forward dependencies and I was hoping you'd hear my plee.
I am using Visual Studio 2005 and I'm passing a single parameter (a unique string called AuditGUID) to a report and this single parameter is part of a multivalue list (select box) of many AuditGUID's. This returns a lot of information related to that unique AuditGUID.
When I set the parameter to use a select box, the error says the following:
[rsInvalidReportParameterDependency] The report parameter ‘Audit_GUID_par’ has a DefaultValue or a ValidValue that depends on the report parameter “Audit_GUID_par”. Forward dependencies are not valid.
But, when I change the select box to a textbox, where the user would have to enter a Audit_GUID (which is a very long and complicated string), then the report compiles successfully and works...but I can't allow users to have to go through this, I'd rather let them select it from a list (selectbox). Could you help me with this please?
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
Jean
