I am evaluating the report viewer and using that to get report parameter values from the user. One of them is a combo box list of choices that is populated via a database table.
In the report design file, I am using the beforeOpen event of the Data Source to run a global function (defined in initialize event) to set the url string, etc. for the database connection string.
This works great for the report generation. However, in the report viewer for user input, when it shows the choices in the combo box, it appears that the database url,etc are NOT being replaced in the Data Source. Is there a different place/event that I need to hook into with the report viewer so that the initialize and beforeOpen events fire before the combo box is rendered? It is using the default odaURL, etc. that is defined in the XML.
Thanks for any insight.

When the viewer builds the viewer the initialize event does not fire,
but the beforeOpen event on the datasouce should fire.
