Hide Parameters issue : Where is the "Prompt User" checkbox

I have a problem of hiding a few of my parameters. People are talking
about the SP1 and the "Prompt User" check box. I have SP1 installed.
But I cannot see "Prompt User" checkbox anywhere either in the
ReportManager or the VS.NET Report Designer.
I've been pulling my hair all day. Please let me know how can I get to
that "Prompt User" checkbox. Where is it ?
thanks
Anand SagarThere is not a check box. Make sure your report is highlighted. Click on
the Report option in the menu. Select properties. To set a parameter as
hidden, you have to delete all the text in the "Prompt:" textbox. Once you
do that, you will not see a prompt for the user to enter data for that
parameter. This is all that is needed to "hide" parameters from the end user.

to the Report Manager, you'll need to edit the "Parameters" properties.
Check the "Prompt User" check box, then empty out the Prompt String text
box. This allows the parameter to be hidden from the user, but still
updateable by the report.
