That's a great page James and I am away of this issue. This is the reason I want to find out if there is a simpler workaround for Reporting Services.
Hoping for a config switch or other magic.
My thinking so far is to have all of my paging done in the db and have my *.aspx page send the page number needed as a parameter to a stored procedure that does my query and returns the group (page) of results I'm after along with how many pages in total.
