hidden parameters are not hidden

Hello,
I've created a report with a parameter with no prompt ( hidden ) and a
second one with a prompt. When I switch to preview in Visual Studio only the
second parameter appears. This is OK.
When I launch the report in IE :
http://servername/ReportServer?/ReportFolder/Myreport&Param1=1&Param2=2
both parameters appear in the parameter section !?!From the SP1 readme:
4.3.1 Hiding Parameters in a Published Report
In Report Manager, you can now set parameter properties in a way that
allows you to achieve two objectives simultaneously:
· Hide the parameter fields in a published report.
· Specify a parameter value at run time (for example, through a
subscription that is used to trigger report execution and delivery).
Previously, the only way to hide a parameter value was to clear the Prompt
User check box in the Parameters properties page. However, a side effect of
clearing the check box was that you could no longer specify a parameter
value for the report at run time. This limitation has been removed. In SP1,
you can clear the Prompt User check box to hide the parameter fields and
values in the report. Doing so does not introduce restrictions on how you
subsequently set the parameter value externally at run time.

||||Brad, are you aware of any probelms when using hidden parameters along with
prompted credentials? The result I encounter when attempting this is that RS
continually prompts for credentials rather than proceeding to view the
report...

hidden fields rendering on server only!

I have a report with a matrix in which I conditionally hide one of the data
columns. This is working properly in preview on my development studio but
when I deploy to the report server it is showing these hidden data columns
when it is not supposed to - if I export the rendered report from the server
... it exports to pdf and excel with the data columns properly hidden - so
how can I fix this ... I cant understand what is happening. Please help as
release date is approaching. Thank youUpdate on this - I put the same conditional expressions on the border
property of the columns I want hidden and also the background color of the
column that gets conditionally colored - this seems to work although it
doesnt explain why it worked w/out that in dev studio AND why it exported
correctly - the only problem being on the server in html format. Still would
like to know why because if I had known that then I could have saved a lot of
time. Thanks
