I need to pass a parameter from my app to a report.
The problem is if I create this as a parameter in the report
it shows the person the text box or combo box for the parameter.

I do not want to show the parameter or allow anyone to change this parameter. I just want to pass it from the actual application.

This parameter is simply a LoginID (a user) so that the report pulls of records just for that person.

I know I can pass the parameter in the hyperlink like:
http://blah/reports...blah=LoginID

But doesnt that mean the report has to have that LoginID as a parameter ?

In other words, can I create "invisible" parameters that are NOT shown on the rs as selections that can be modified.
If this is not possible I am seriously seeing some major issues with RS. I mean I understand one should research some of these things before buying, but you can only do so much research, some of this stuff is so obvious that I can't believe its not available.

Yes that is possible as we are doing this in one of our applications. But we are using Report Viewer to view the reports, not sure if you can do it without it.
