This is a topic that always baffled me;
I don't believe the hyperlink option in Crystal supports passing Command Line arguments.

My DataLink Viewer can launch any other application and pass command line arguments to it by double-clicking a report section on which you placed a string formula that statically or dynamically results in a string with the following structure:
-------------------------------------------------
'EXE_RUN:Some_progrem.exe:command line arguments'
-------------------------------------------------

I always thought the hyperlink options within Crystal seemed strangely limited. For example, could someone explain why is Crystal treating a hyperlink to another report as an on demand subreport? This means the second report can't have it's own subreports...
That's why I've added to DataLink Viewer the ability of one report launching (and passing parameters to) other fully independent reports.
