Filter with Session Variable 2

[suicidaltendencies]

I want to filter the rows I'm pulling into my report with a asp.net session variable. Does anyone have any idea how to do this? I'm new to CR's and will need extra help.

Thanks,
Harold

One method might be to pass the session variable to a parameter in the report.

Here's a parameter picklist application:

There are numerous ASP examples at:

All I want to do is, instead of prompting the user for a parameter field value, I want to provide it though the code.

Thanks,

Then what you're looking for should be in the samples, particularly anything that references setting a parameter value, and disabling the default prompt window, like:

session("oRpt&quot.EnableParameterPrompting = False

Session("oRpt&quot.ParameterFields.GetItemByName("ExampleStringParameter&quot.AddCurrentValue(CStr("I am a string&quot)

Look at the SimpleParameterFields example from the applicable link below...
