Requerying Report Programmatically in VB

[rickj65]

I'm using the Crystal ActiveX Report Viewer in VB. When I run a report with 2 parameters (passed through VB code), the report displays data from the last time I ran the report. After I click on the Refresh button, the updated records appear.

What is the command for refreshing the data automatically in code? I'm still trying to figure this one out.

TIA,
Rick

One of the easiest approaches is to ensure that you save your report(s) without saved data.

Check File >> Save Report With Data and make sure there is no check mark.

With this off, each time you request the report it will require data.

There is also a DiscardSavedData method you could call to dump the report data.

Seems a bit odd that when you pass in the param info you get the old data. Unless of course the params are the same as the old data. The report without data will let you know if the params are being passed in properly.
