CE10 - I'm really confused, please help.

[SueSp]

Hi folks.

My company has been using CR8.5 and CE8 for some time, We use IIS and VbScript/ASP. Our requirements are very simple - the ASP sets up parms that are passed to the report via response.redirect to the .rpt along with the report parameters. The ActiveX viewer pops up with the report.

It seems in CE10, life is not so simple. I've been reading all the help files included and find it to be very ambiguous at best.

I've looked at the many samples and they are very limited. I've looked at the ActiveX samples and it appears as though in order to send report parameters you have to have names parameters - in the past we sent the parameters in specific order so we don't have to know the name of the parameters - it looks like we can't do that either(!).

What should I look at? Where should I start? Can you help please?

Thanks.
Sue

I have some url reporting which uses numbered prompts in CE10, so I think you are in ok shape. I think named prompts are just an additional option (I don't prefer it either).

I'm not 100% sure this applies to what you are doing; here is a kb article to peruse:

- I did not find one for ce10.
