BOXI wont accept empty Parameter/Prompt

[bluecjh]

BO/Cystal XI

Reports which are passed an empty parameter (they are being viewed via ActiveX Viewer) , are prompted and won't accepted
an Empty value (a value has to be entered).

These reports ran fine in versions 10. Now they
always get prompted when no value is passed.

Does anyone have a solution?

Interestingly if you run the report inside Crystal Reports
package empty/blank parameters are accepted?

many thanks

In CR XI they parameters cannot have "blank" parameters, they have to have something or a formula built to handle no parameters.

Thanks so much!

satinsilhouette,

In CR XI no problem, i can enter a blank parameter i.e. just hit 'return'. But viewing against Enterprise XI?

thanks

i have a datetime parameter in crystal XI. this always asks for a value.I never get a workaround. it says "Please enter DateTime in format "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss".

Any help??

Hi,
BOE XI handles parameters differently than previous versions..There MUST be a value supplied for any parameter
defined in the published report ( even if the report does not use that parameter anywhere)..

Always provide a default value and modify the criteria that uses it to test for the default first...

In CR10 and CE10, DateTime,Date and, I believe, Number parameters were mandatory, but strings could be left blank..
