Headers in SQL 2005 Reporting

All,

Is there a way to have a report header show up before I enter report parameters? When I link to a report I am prompting the user to enter parameters...but the report header isn't showing up until I enter the paramenters and 'view report'. I want the header to show up before I enter the parameters and run the report...really more of a page header than a report header.

I have also tried to imbed the report in an aspx page (in the reportviewer control), but the reportviewer is always blank. I can't get it to populate any of the rdl reports. I'm sure I am missing something here.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

To display the report before ANY parameters are specified is not possible. However, if you design your report so that it had default parameter values for all parameters and those values resulted in only the first page being shown (like a cover page), then I think you can make it work.
