Multi value parameter use in "IN" expression.

Hi
While writing my latest report i have been trying to use the result of a
multi value parameter as the value for a "IN" expression in my SQL query,
this does not seem to work, the multi value parameter shows that it has
values in it but the "IN" expression wont use them to filter the SQL query.
I have since found that the way i am using the Parameter in the SQL is
correct but i am now unsure of how the parameter should be set up.
Can anyone help?
Steve D'IN' should have multiple values seperated with a comma. I hope you know
that. So you need to use =join() to build the multi value parameters into
something like this (1,2,3,4) then pass this value into the query it should
work.

select somefield from sometable where anotherfield in (@.Param)
Where @.Param maps to a multi-value parameter. There is no need for anything
fancy unless passing the parameter to a stored procedure.
