As I haven't got a response yet let me be a little more specific in my question can you have tool tip like selection completion prompts as in a Google search for Parameters? For example say I am choosing products in a product list and there are thousands of products but I know I am looking for "ABC Widget" as I begin to type in my parameter text box the letters A-B-... SSRS suggests values via tool tip like view which I can choose an option and the selection list becomes more narrow as I provide more letters in the item name.

If this can't be done using SSRS what is best practice for trying to do this sort of thing.

Thanks,

My guess is this functionality can not be done in SSRS so the implementation of a .Net solution for parameter input appears to be the solution of choice. Thanks for those who had a look at the post appreciate the attempts.

Cheers,
