Report won't rerun after parameter change

One of our Sales Reps is having issues with a report I've made and as far as I know he's the only one (Out of about 50) who has had this issue. He's running IE 7. What happens is he'll enter in the parameters and run the report and it works fine. But when he goes to change the dates he entered as parameters and then clicks "View Report" again to run the report again, the browser just redisplays the same results and doesn't even generate a new report. It appears as if the browser has cached his previously ran report and then just redisplays it instead of going back to the server and re-generating the report. Has anyone seen this before or have any ideas? I appreciate it.

I ran into the same issue when the report was cached (by SSRS). It did not find any work around other than to not cache the report which unfortunately you have no control over and I would say is less than an optimal solution.

Report wizard question

is it possible to rerun the wizard after report creation?

during the report creation page and group items are set I want to be able to rerun the wizard to be able to change these,

is it possibl?

If you are in the report wizard, you should be able to press the back button until you get back to where you set the page and group items.

I don't believe that you can rerun the wizard if you have finished the wizard. However, if you have already finished the report wizard, the report should have generated a list (or set of lists depending on how many items you wanted in the page grouping) with a table in the innermost list. The table should contain the values of the group items in the table's grouping rows. If you want to change any of these, right click where you see a page or grouping item (should be in a textbox and looks something like =Fields!NameOfField.Value), select Expression..., expand Fields (name of data source) and replace the current expression with one of the other fields available.

Hope this helps.
