	I'm trying to find a way to use the descriptions used for my parameter prompts in my report. A number value is entered into the parameter but I would like to display the user friendly description on the report. Is there a way to display the description of the parameter on a report?

	This may help if I understand your question correctly. Create a Formula field for the description. In the formula editor, write something like this: if {?Start Date} = '1' then "description of prompt 1" else if {?Start Date} = '2' then "description of prompt 2" else if {?Start Date} = '3' then "description of prompt 3" else "" Then insert the formula field into the report where you want the description to go. Hope that helps.
