We are in the process of creating reports in WebI and need to link them. We have managed to create the link, however, the parameter for the linked object is not being passed to the next report. Can anyone help. This is driving us crazy!!
 
Steve,

The basis of our report is a drilldown on an object to x level and then using the link object, open the linked report.

We can open the report, however, the drilldown object remains at the top level of the hierarchy.

For example.
Organization Level 1 to 10 = hierarchy objects
Account number = linked object.
The main report allows the user to drilldown the hierarchy to the required level. Then using the account number open up the next report to view data by period.

Here is our linked object's definition

'<A HREF=&quot; = &quot;_Parent&quot; >'+MAX_WRAP_TEST.dbo.tblFormLayout.vcrReportLineId+'</A>'

Do you know how we can pass the hierarchy parameter across at the same time without having to include it as a prompt in the linked report?

The OpenDocument function only allows you to pass parameters via prompts. There really isn't any way around this unless you want to start getting into heavy SDK coding.

There has been a pretty good discussion of this on busobj.forumtopics.com Steve Krandel
