Report Parameter has DefaultValue or ValidValue.....Forward Dependencies are not valid

    Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong here:

    I get this error message in some form or another no matter what:

    The report parameter ‘Campaign’ has a DefaultValue or a ValidValue that depends on the report parameter "Campaign". Forward dependencies are not valid.

    I've studied 3 books, 3 online tutorials and can make the parameters work every time.  For my real life scenario, it just won't work.

    I have 2 datasets and am obviously trying to give the user the option to choose which campaign they want to view.

    #1:  dsTelco:

    SELECT  CallType, DisTime - AnswerTime AS ConnectTime

    FROM dbo.CTK 

     WHERE TCD IN('AM','HU','NM','VC','NT')

     OR AgentID LIKE '[a-z,0-9]%'

     ORDER BY CallDate

    #2:  dsCampaign

    SELECT P.CampaignID, P.CampDesc, C.Campaign

    From dbo.CPro P, dbo.CTK C

    WHERE (P.CampaignID = C.Campaign)

    AND (P.CampDesc = @Campaign)

    I set the the report parameters as follows:

    Paramater: Campaign

    datatype: Sting

    Available Values: Non-Queried

    Default Values: From Query >>Dataset: dsCampaign >> ValueField: Campaign

    I've spun my wheels for at least 10 hours and still can't get it to work out after many different iterations.  The only way I can get this parameter to work is if I place static campaign names in the Available values selection.  Can anybody offer some helpful guidance on this?  I'm about out of ideas!!

    Thanks,

    Change the order of parameters so that your dependant parameter is below the parameter that feeds it.

    I did. Here is the simple code i have

    select * from fleetsize where [plant code] in (@plantcode) and order_date between @startdate and @enddate

    I got it to work.

    I had to add @plantcode variable to the end of my first dataset

    select * from fleetsize where order_date between @startdate and @enddate and [plant code] in (@plantcode)

    and here is the dataset of the second one

    select distinct [plant code] from fleetsize where order_date between @startdate and @enddate

    and my @plantcode report properties are set up like this:

    Available values = from query

    dataset = Fleetsize2 (which is the 2nd data)

    Value field = plant_code (This is the filed the paramter chooses from)

    label field = plant_code (This is the filed the paramter chooses from)

    I left Default values = null
