Put a text item in your report.

Change the text source to report expression.

Enter this function : ParamDisplayValue('yourPrompt')

You can also drag your prompt and it should give you this function automatically

Hi dlafrance,

You need drop your paramter in the report header if you wanna see it on each n every page of your report, to drag the parameter to report header just drag a Layout Calculation on to Page Header and in Report Expression Editor, Go to Paramters Tab [you can see it in Left Bottom [1st one is Query, 2. Function adn 3rd one is Parameters tab], just drag your parameter to the Expression Definition and click on OK, thats it.. I have attached a example report [Go Sales and Retailers]
