Nicky,

The first thing I would do is make sure you use the Text property instead of the Value property of the drop down. You need to make sure the name extracted is of type string. For the path of the report, you set it to the actual location of the report, relative to the hosting server. I would recommend looking at the following article and downloading the code. It is doing something similar to what you are trying to accomplish. It doesn't use a drop down but instead textboxes, however, the concepts would be the same about calling the report.
