Could you please explain to me what an 'a multiselection list' is?
For the rest:
If nothing works, just put the values from this multiselection list in a table and let Reports read from this table.
HTH,

If you want to have multiple values going into a report then also consider the following two options.
If the set of records can be described by a 'select' statement then pass the 'select' statement to the report.
If you have a set of selected values then consider placing them in another table that comprises a key (of some combination) and a data value. Load the values as a set of records. Then, in the report, retrieve the information from this table and place it on the page. Then in the 'Post-Report' trigger (I don't remember the actual name) delete these 'used' entries.
