Report Parameter is "Read Only"

[lanm]

I'm stuck with a report not being able to use the URL parameter.

I get the error:

The report parameter is read-only and cannot be modified.

I do have a prompting text for the report, and I've checked the XML and there are <PROMPT></PROMPT> tags!

Could it be a permissions issue? IE, is the code that is updating the parameter assigned to an account that has rights in Report Manager to updating the reports themselves?

Or maybe it's an end user issue. Either way, get logged into your ReportManager\Reports share and go into Properties on the folder to see what security is set up (Browser is read only, Publisher allows writing) for what users.

Ya know, I had to basically take the report, hard code a parameter dropdownlist with a dataset, test it in VS, then take it off so the parameter would read from the URL.
Before I deployed the report, I had to delete it from the Report Server. I tried serveral different changes, deployed them, and they weren't overwritting the existing report on the server.
I knew the report would work since the original was working, it was just the "copies" of the report that were coming up with this error.

Thanks!
