& in report parameter

Hi,
Using URL parameters, I pass in the following department parameter "Sales & Marketing". The problem is the "&", this causing reporting services to display an error. I assume reporting services thinks it the parameter delimiter.
I have tried URL encloding the string before I pass it in but I still get an error.
Any ideas?
ThanksWhat is the error. Passing an & is fine, and yes it must be encoded on the
URL.
