Disable calendar control RS 2005

Is there a way to disable the calendar control in Reporting Services 2005?Hi Larry,
Solutions to this that have worked for me are:
If you mean the default calendar controls that collect parameter information
when the parameter is a date, then like any other, these parameters can be
marked as 'hidden'. To do this, click on the layout tab and select
Report->Report Parameters. When you select the relevant parameter in the
list box on the left, there is a checkbox option to hide it. The parameter
will require its value sourcing by means appropriate to how you are
rendering the report.
If you want to enter the parameter value as normal, but not with the
calendar control, change the type of the parameter to string and convert its
value in the stored procedure. This will make it show as a textbox instead.

conversions, I simply make date/time parameters string parameters and the
reports work exactly as before without the calendars. Hopefully the
usefulness of the calendar will improve with the next service pack and we can
start using them again.|||What don't you like about the date picker? Seems like a normal date picker
to me. What are you looking for it to do?

deployed to the server the calendar exhibits two problems.
1) The buttons move around as you click through months.
2) The calendar will pause after about 7 clicks and after a few more it will
close.
I've seen it work on a Microsoft desktop but so far I'm unable to resolve
why we have the behavior here, just that's it's consistent and I can't get
rid of it.
