Adding a Parameter into a report

[maxxam]

How do I add a parameter into a report so that it asks the user for this information upon opening the report?

Whenever I create a parameter and choose to enter it into the report the program wants me to place it somewhere on the report but I don't want it to appear on the report .. only to prompt for this information. I know this is a dumb question but I can't figure it out yet.

Use your select expert.

{your field} = {your parameter}

Add the parameter to the report header, right click on the field, select format, and select suppress. This will allow you to prompt for the parameter, but it will not sappear on your report.
