Consider the following scenario: if you have a filter in the table which is based on a date report parameter. However, based on the selected date, there are no records in the table, you see the No pages to display message in the viewer, however, the parameters are is grayed out and you are not able to select a new date until you don't refresh the report. If you set the SkipBlankPages to False, the behavior is not reproduced. As a workaround, you can set the NoDataMessage property of the table.
