Validation mechanism for parameter values?

    I am utterly new to designing reports in Reporting Services and never had any formal training in it and was wondering if there was any built-in mechanism for validating the parameters on execution. I would like to make things as idiot-proof, as possible. For now, I added a ParametersCorrect boolean parameter that doesn't allow null and asks "Parameters have been entered correctly?" to remind the user to check what they are entering. Of course, even if it is set to False it still works. 😀

    I would appreciate any advice, even if it's only an RTFM.

    If need be, I guess I can move things to a stored proc and maybe cobble some validation on the back-end to be returned through the dataset and then group on that field in the report, or maybe I can throw some kind of error (haven't really experimented with how reporting services handles errors).
