Passing Parameters? 1

[DaveL]

I have a form that collects user input to be used for producing a report. When the "Print" button is clicked, I want to call an external program to print the requested report. How do I pass parameters to and receive parameters in the print program?

** Call report program from click event
parm1 = ThisForm.field1.Value
parm2 = ThisForm.field2.Value
DO report_program WITH parm1, parm2

** Report Program
PROCEDURE report_program
PARAMETERS parm1, parm2
[\code]

Thanks!

I guess I am confused. The code you put in the question is the correct code for passing parameters. Although I would consider using lparameter instead of parameter (it makes sure the parameters are local to the called program)

Thanks fluteplr!
Of course, you are right. After testing a little more, I found that I had a different problem. Thank you for the feedback!
