Help regarding Parameters selections in reporting services 2005.

Hi Experts,
I am working on Reporting services 2005 and i am new for this
software.
I have some reports, and some reports contains more than one
parameters.
Now my problem starts...
My client want reports with more and more parameters, and
at the same time he does not want to select all of them
He is saying that he may or may not select all the parameters.
and if not select all the parameters then still reports should be
generated.
for his selected parameters only.
Suppose i have one report with 4 parameters and first parameter is
Country
second one is states, third one is city, fourth one coustmers name
etc.
How i can implement this.
Now he is saying that if he select only one parameters in country and
leave others,
then report should be generated for all the coustemers for that
country.
Please help me...
Regards

Also, I would suggest setting up the report parameters w/a default
value of 'none selected' as part of the dataset that populates the
parameters (most likely w/a union statement in the dataset query).
That way the user can select only what is wanted and the other
parameters automatically use 'none selected.' Then design the stored
procedure/query that populates the report to handle the 'none
selected' accordingly. Hope this helps.
