Hi,
I have a report which getting a parameter value base on the user id.
There is a situation that that the parameter isn't getting any value (I remove the option for null value) and then when the user run it, he get an error: The 'my_param' parameter is missing a value'.

I want the report to stop now but I don't want the user to see the error (since he can see my parameter name).

Is there a way to show the user a costume message instead?

Thanks

Supposed you are giving the userId via expression to the Default Values.
I think the only way to handle this wood be inside expression via Iif and IsNothing() and a "dummyuser".

not sure if you can handle this in standard report viewer. however you could do this if you're using a custom report viewer by including a client side validation to see if parameter has a valid value in url and if not show a customised error message.

Hi.
I'm showing the reports in a web browser (http://sqlserver/reportserver).

Its pretty sad to think that there is no way to redirect the server to another error page when an error occur :(

Thanks for your help.
