Remove "Select All" Options from Multi Select Parameter Dropdown

Hi All

I am using SQL Server 2005 with SP2. I have multi select parameter in the report. In SP2 reporting services gives Select All option in the drop down.

Is there any way I can remove that option from the list?

Thanks

No you can't remove it. It was removed by the MS team in SP1, but popular demand meant it was reinstated. The only way to get rid of it is to build your own UI.|||

I understand all of the angst around this decision. We will definitely make this configurable in the future, either on a server level or a per-report level.

... after which somebody responds "I prefer per-server" -- but I personally (LSN) would prefer per-report. So they really can't win, can they <g>. No, seriously, in this case they can't win unless they do both...

Thanks for the reply everyone.

That answers my question.
