Data Driven Subscription Query Parameters

Does anyone know if its possible to use report parameters as
parameters to a data driven subscription query. This would be useful
for changing the names of the files generated by the subscription
according to the parameters passed to the report.
For example, a report that takes a customer name as a parameter could
pass the customer name through to the data driven subscription query.
This would allow the customer name to be included in the file name of
the file that the data driven subscription generates.

David.In the parameters page, you are able to do a select statement & assign
parameters based on that.
So you could do a select * From names
Assuming your names table has a name field, then you could use the name &
field to assign it to a "file name".

data driven subscription. What I dont know is whether you can change
the file name based on the value of a report parameter.
Say I had a report with a parameter of customer name. If someone
created a data driven subscription and specified a customer of
customer1 for the customer name. I would like to be able to generate a
file name like "customer1_09-11-2004.csv".
I guess you would need to pass the customer name as the where clause
to the "select * from names" query mentioned below.
Is this possible.
