Passing value to formula, want to use it in Select statement

[dsangel]

I am passing a value to a formula from VB. The formula is used in the record selection formula. Crystal reports performs a query for all records (no criteria) then does the same query again with the record selection formula as criteria. Is there a way to eliminate the query that returns all records? My idea was to use a parameter, but we don't want the user to have to enter a value. Can I give the paramater a value using the passed variable?
This did not work
[?Parameter] := [@formula] or [?Parameter] = [@formula]
