parameters via url not being seen

Iâ'm having a problem passing parameters to my report thru the url.
Iâ've read the online text, the manuals we have here, and the newsgroup
entries.
I created a "non-queried" parameter in my report: TestParam
I can test this parameter when running this report in Report Manager. I
enter a value, click View Report, and the data displays in a text box that
displays data based on the data entered into the parameter box.
When I call the report from a vb.net client application thru a url, the
report loads up in a Report Manager window, with NO errors, but no data
displays in either the parameter box or the text box. It is waiting for
parameter input, just as it normally would when bringing up the report in
report manager.
http://server/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fFolderPath%2fReportName&rs:Command=Render&TestParam=test
Iâ've tried this with and without the Command=Render. I've verified the
parameter name is correct and is the correct case.
Am I still missing something? Is there something more that I should do
with the report parameter before it will accept input from a url?Example from BOL
http://<Webservername>/reportserver?/<reportfolder>/employee+sales+summary&ReportYear=2004&ReportMonth=06&EmpID=24&rs:Command=Render&rs:Format=HTML4.0
so does this work?
http://server/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?/fFolderPath/ReportName&TestParam=test&rs:Command=Render

seeing, the parameters do not get filled in. You need to use reportserver
syntax as you show from BOL (the difference is RS portal (Report Manager)
versus ReportServer).
