Hi,
I have a parameter field called Param1 in my report. Later on I changed the stored procedure to add that same parameter in the stored procedure. Now in report I have same parameter with @Param name. I don't need the Param1 parameter. I removed all the references of Param1. But, when I tried to delete the Param1, it gave me message that it could not be deleted since it still has reference somewhere. I checked all formulas and everything in the report. I couldn't find it anywhere.

My question is...
Is there any way to find out where that param1 is used without checking each fields manually? or how can I get rid of Param1?

Any suggestion would be appreciated!

Thanks,
ndp

 
You can try this:

File > Print > Export > Select "Report Definition" from the format drop down list.

This should show you all the details of your report.

Hope it helps!

I am going to give you star.

Thank you so much.

Hi,

You could just change the data type of the parameter.
This will cause formulas that reference them to error out.

Nuffsaid.
"We will...
either find a way,
or make one.
 
That is also a good idea.

Thanks Nuffsaid.
