Parameter Prompt with Wildcard

I'd like to create a report parameter to allow the user to enter only a
partial field using wildcard(s) in SRS. The list is lengthy and the user
does not always know the full name to enter.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
KarenVery much it can be done. Just you need to keep in mind about the single
quotes you are using for string paramters. eg '%userrequest' which you will
be passing the parameters to the "where" clause.

WHERE (dbo.UP_Agents.AgentName = @.AgentName)
is this where I would add the wildcard? Or would I add in a separate
string? (sorry, i'm learning this as I go)
Thank you,

WHERE (dbo.UP_Agents.AgentName LIKE '%' + @.AgentName + '%')
Thanks for getting me started.
