Hi,
I have a report containing one multi-value parameter with default values given. When open I report in Report Manager, report executes automatically. I need to stop this automatic execution of report. I need to give user an option to check if default values are ok for him or not. Is there any way other than removing default value from parameter to do this?
Thanks in anticipation.

It is unfortunate that this was not considered as a requirement during development. However, you can work around this by adding an additional report parameter. Add a Start Report parameter as a string with 1 non-queried availabIe value like 'Yes'. The report will not render until the user selects the only available option for that parameter. Its not the best solution but is a viable workaround to the default rendering problem.
A report uses a paramater param1; create a dataset with a sql query that generates valid values and make your report parameter populate from this dataset. You can set the default value to null so that the report prompts for the parameters from the valid list.
