Dropdown menu help

I have a report with 4 parameters
2 of them are dropdown menus, one contains groups that populate the other
dropdown box with computer names. The report works great but I would like to
have an ALL function in the computer name dropdown box.
From poking around here I was able to plug a UNION SELECT 'All' AS
ComputerName into the dataset that builds the computername list but I am no
sql wiz by any stretch of the imagination and it seems that is just plugging
in All to the dropdown without any meaning behind it.
Has anyone done this sort of thing before or have any examples they could
share?
Thanks!

Drop Down Parameters Not Working

If you select an option from the dropdown list, the secondary dropdown list
does
not populate automatically. It appears that the focus is not being made on
the frame that allows for the user to enter parameters.
Is there a way to make the focus on a certain frame of the Report parameters
form?
I found that once the page loads, as long as I don't select anything in the
primary dropdown list, I can select the frame that the drop down is in, and
then select an option and it works correctly. If I select the option first,
then select the frame, it does not work. I'm not an expert, but to me, this
means that the focus needs to be put on the drop down list frame by Reporting
Service.I had this exact same problem, took a while to figure it out. Some IE
browsers (maybe others too) do this, not really the reporting services. I
believe if you update your browser it can solve this. Otherwise you can add
"&rc:Stylesheet=fix" to the end of you link to the report and it should work.
Hope this helps.

from Microsoft. As far as the &rc goes, I didn't development the report, so
I'm not sure how to do this, but I'll pass it on to the owner.

I.E. browser. I went from Update Version
"SP1;Q832894;Q867801;Q871260;Q823353;" to simply "SP1", which brings us back
to our original problem occurring after we pushed out Microsoft patch 888113.
This should be a Microsoft issue, if someone knows how to report it.
