SSRS list parameter headscratcher

I think what you are looking for is called auto complete which is not available to SSRS 2005. Although if you select the parameter and start typing, it will go to the first instance of that key combination so you don't have to scroll so far.

I'm trying to recreate an Access db list parameter in an SSRS05 report and am having a hard time duplicating a certain desired behavior.

Users must select one name from a (very long) parameter dropdown list. In Access, when they start to input text, values are sort of "predictively" highlighted as they type, e.g. they type s-m-i, and Smith appears as the highlighted option. In SSRS my parameter has the same list as its dataset, but as s-m-i is typed the selection wants to jump around in the list from S to M to I, without selecting Smith. (NB: I bet there is a correct name for this type of input menu, and I wish I knew what it is.)

Can a parameter that behaves the way the Access param does be created in SSRS 05?

Thanks.
