Well I figured my problem out - I just don't know what to do with it. The
enterprise engine seems to not like loading parameters that are in the
reports. I have a main form with 2 parameters and 4 subreports with 2
parameters each. If I tell the publishing wizard to not modify these
parameters, the report will not load. If I pick the dates (all of these
parameters are for dates) then the report runs just fine and dandy. The
parameters do launch when I run the report from the IE directly on the
server, so is it a netowrking problem?

I can probably streamline these parameters if I knew one thing, what is the
formula for the past 90 days from run date? If I am not clear, in dbase it
looks something like dtoc()-90
