Parameters & Report Viewer

[bobhagan]

We have some old reports where we added a parameter to search records by worker. The report is CR 8.0 and is used in a third-party application that calls the report viewer. the report works fine in Crystal, but when run in the application, the parameter dialog comes up only at the very end. No matter what's put in the dialog, the report is empty. Other reports, particularly those with date range parameters, have the parameter dialog show at the right time.

We're contacting the vendor, but has anybody else seen this?

I'm not exactly free to add anything additional here. CR 8.0 it is.

Somebody half remembered my predecessor having run into a similar problem. By searching old e-mails we discovered that if you put the parameter in the header of the report, it forces the dialog to come up at the beginning of the run.

Hope that helps somebody else.
