Clearing/Unselecting Multi-Value selections made

I used to use the 'Select All' to clear the previously selected values by checking and unchecking it. However now with 2005 sp1 this is unavailable. Does anyone know of any way to unselect/clear all selections made without manually going down a long list and unselecting the old selections?

Come on now, where our options for this?!!!

Microsoft can do better than this.

Ron,

Sorry to tell you but they took away the <select all> functionality in SP1. You now need to manually add an "All" option and account for it in the sql. I know, this is a huge disappointment and I cannot for the life of me understand how anyone with an ounce of sense would find this acceptable. It sucks. There are 5th tier reporting options that perform way better than this. This is one of the most basic reporting functions. First, we had to wait for the multi-select functionality and now they have gone and messed it up.

Yes i understand and i have tried the workaround. It doesn't help with what i want.

What i want to do is be able to 'clear' all the previous selections made so i can make new multivalue selections without having to go down the list and uncheck the previous selections. Is there a way to do this? It wasn't just a select all, it was also an unselect all.
