Hi!

I created a report in VS using a shared data source which is connected to a sharepoint list. In the report I created a dataset with a SOAP call to the data source so I get the result from the sharepoint list in a table.

this is the soap call

<Query>
<SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems</SoapAction>
<Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" Name="GetListItems">
  <Parameters>
     <Parameter Name="listName">
        <DefaultValue>{BD8D39B7-FA0B-491D-AC6F-EC9B0978E0CE}</DefaultValue>
     </Parameter> 
     <Parameter Name="viewName">
        <DefaultValue>{E2168426-804F-4836-9BE4-DC5F8D08A54F}</DefaultValue>
     </Parameter>
     <Parameter Name="rowLimit">
        <DefaultValue>9999</DefaultValue>
     </Parameter>   
  </Parameters>
</Method>   
<ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="True">*</ElementPath>
</Query>

THis works fine, I have a result which I can show in a report, but I want to have the ability to select a parameter to filter the result on. I have created a parameter and when I preview the Report I see the dropdownbox which I can use to make a selection from the Title field, when I do this it still shows the first record, obviously it doens't work yet (DUH!) because I need to create a query somewhere, But! I have no idea where, I tried to include

   <Where>
    <Eq>
     <FieldRef Name="ows_Title" />
     <Value Type="Text">testValue</Value>
    </Eq>
   </Where>

in the the soap request but it didn't worked... I've searched teh intarwebz but couldn't find any simliar problems... kinda stuck now...any thoughts on this?

EDIT

Here's the query I used according to the blogpost Alex Angas linked.

<Query>
   <SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems</SoapAction>
   <Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" Name="GetListItems">
<queryOptions></queryOptions> 
<query><Query> 

<Where> 

<Eq> 

<FieldRef Name="ows_Title"/> 

<Value Type="Text">someValue</Value> 

</Eq> 

</Where> 

</Query></query>   
      <Parameters>
         <Parameter Name="listName">
         <DefaultValue>{BD8D39B7-FA0B-491D-AC6F-EC9B0978E0CE}</DefaultValue>
     </Parameter> 
     <Parameter Name="viewName">
        <DefaultValue>{E2168426-804F-4836-9BE4-DC5F8D08A54F}</DefaultValue>
     </Parameter>
     <Parameter Name="rowLimit">
        <DefaultValue>9999</DefaultValue>
     </Parameter> 

  </Parameters>
</Method>   
<ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="True">*</ElementPath>
</Query>

I tried to put the new query statement in every possible way in the existing, but it doesn't work at all, I do not get an error though so the code is valid, but I still get an unfiltered list as return... pulling my hair out here!
