Hidden Parameters

Is there any way to have a parameter hidden for a report without it being Read-Only? I want the user to be able to select a specific parameter within a report and have another parameter passed via URL.

I suppose this question is for RS 2005: in report designer just mark the report parameter as "Hidden" and make sure that the "Internal" checkbox is not set. This will result in a parameter that is hidden but can still be set e.g. through a value passed via URL.

If the report was already published to a report server, delete it first from the report server and then republish again to make sure that the parameter information is not merged with the settings of the previously published old version of the report.
