ActiveX Viewer and Dynamic Parameters - ASP App

[jmcclain]

I'm using CE9. I have a web app that needs to pass parameter values to the report at run time.

Using an example from CrystalDecisions.com I can do this using a series of code that results in:

Set Viewer = CreateObject("CrystalReports.CrystalReportInteractiveViewer")
With Viewer
.reportsource = report document
.parameterfields = fields
end With

Viewer.ProcessHTTPRequest Request, Response, Session


My boss wants me to use the ActiveX viewer. Is there a way to do this with ActiveX?

Currently I use a line like this to call the ActiveX viewer

...
Response.Redirect("viewrpt.cwr?id="+ID+"....)

My question is where would I commit the parameters when I use this type of code?

HELP!!

Take a look at the Crystal Web Request and passing parameters via "promptEX" information in the file WebDeveloperHelp.chm or Crystal Enterprise Web Developer's Guide. It tells you all you need to know about passing parameters and choosing a viewer.

Unfortunately for me, it does not tell me about changing the parameters on the particular viewer that I am using. That is my current issue...

 

[anytime]

there are 2 ways,

use on the Url command prompt# or promptex-Name

http://nemccrystal/viewrpt.cwr?init... Doo Little"&promptex-Parm_AppDate="5/11/2004

or use the addparameter in the activex html page

...
webSource0.ReportSource = webBroker
webSource0.AddParameter "prompt0", "M000600018"
...

hope that helps
