How to expose/uncollapse parameters?

I have report1 with a jump to report2. When report1 jumps to report2
it passes a PROJECT_ID.
On Report2, I have a parameter dropdownlist that contains PROJECT_ID
and PROJECT_NAME.

1. Report1 jumps to report2 fine but when on report2, the parameter
area is collapsed. How to I expose it without having to train the user
to un-collapse?

2. Once on report2, I can display the passed PROJECT_ID. what can I
code to get the corresponding PROJECT_NAME from the dropdownlist on
report2?
Once on report2, it positions to the correct PROJECT_ID in the
dropdownlist so I was thinking about using First but when I coded it
First(Fields!PROJ_NAME.Value, "MSPSProjectList"), no project name is
displayed. The PROJECT_ID displays fine.

thank you.

The crude way is make sure the first report has a parameter of some sort.

Would like to know the answer though but cannot find any doco which outlines
all the URL parameters

What does the Url look like for report2? Once I see that, I will be able to
help you.

Thanks,

oh well, discoverd the parameter is True.

So just by adding &rc:Parameters=True to the end of the url fixes the issue
