Disabled or Locked Date Parameters

Hi
I'm fairly new to Reporting Services. We have three or four parameters in
our reports. The FirstDate and LastDate parameters (datetime) are disabled
or locked until we fill in information in the other parameter fields. If the
date parameters are first in the list, they are not disabled or locked. But
we would like them to be last most of the time. Is there a way to "unlock"
them so they are enabled when the report is run instead of having to fill out
the other parameters first?
TIA

As long as they are not dependent on preceding report parameters, they
should not appear locked. Make sure that the datasets that are
sourcing the parameters are not dependent on the wrong parameters
themselves. To check this, select the Data tab and select the correct
Dataset name from the drop-down list and select the Edit Selected
Dataset [...] button and then check the parameter mappings of the
dataset via the Parameters tab. Hope this helps.
