COM Crystal Report Viewer and Parameters

[HouDog]

Hi all, according to the documentation, CE 9.0 has deprecated using promptex as a means of passing parameters to a report. They suggest using the COM Crystal Report viewer.

My question is...How in the world do you pass parameters to a report at run time and not have the parameter page pop up. I have looked high and low and found NOTHING.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Set objFactory = CreateObject("CrystalReports.ObjectFactory.2&quot

Set rptAppSession = objFactory.CreateObject("CrystalEnterprise.ReportAppSession&quot

Set clientDoc = rptAppSession.CreateService("CrystalClientDoc.ReportClientDocument&quot

set Param = objFactory.CreateObject("CrystalReports.ParameterField&quot

set gbparm = objFactory.CreateObject("CrystalReports.ParameterFieldDiscreteValue&quot

rptAppSession.Initialize

clientDoc.Open Path & "\" & theReportName

gbparm = "TESTparameter"
clientDoc.DataDefinition.ParameterFields(0).copyto Param
Param.CurrentValues.Add gbparm

clientDoc.DataDefController.ParameterFieldController.modify 0,Param

There is also an example at the Com - Viewer SDK - Help

Thanks, I'll try it...but I'm not using the RAS so I'm not sure this will work. Also, your example is modifying the actual report...is it not ? Would i then pass the report client doc as the report source for the viewer ??
