If I understand your question correctly, you want to pass a value from ASP and have it display on a Crystal Report.

While generation the report, right-click on Parameter Fields on the left (under Field Explorer.) Select New and give it a name, like "DisplayThis" (and a default value if you want.) Next drag a Database Field out and drop it on your Report (I don't know why it has to come from a DB Field and not an ordinary TextObject, but only DB Fields have "Display String" as a Format Option.) Next select "Display String" under Common of the Format Option of that Field. Enter {?DisplayThis} in the box provided (you can also add text like "DisplayThis = " & {?DisplayThis} & " isn't that nice?".)

Finally, you must pass the value from ASP to the Report at Run Time. You would do that something like this Session("oRpt&quot.ParameterFields("DisplayThis&quot.SetCurrentValue("Passed Value&quot.


Good Luck!
