CRXI Server - paramters in URL?

[greencalx1]

Hi,

I'm using Crystal Reports XI and Crystal Server XI.

I have a report with a parameter (customer_id). In previous version of Crystal Reports, we ran the report using the API - the parameter was passed automatically, as the user does not know what the customer_id will be.

Since upgrading, we're running the reports using the Crystal Server through a browser, and I'm wondering is there way to have the parameter in the url, rather than having the user prompted for it?

E.g. here is the URL:

http://coyote/businessobjects/enterprise115/admin/en/viewrpt.cwr?id=839

What I'd ideally like is something like:

http://coyote/businessobjects/enterprise115/admin/en/viewrpt.cwr?id=839&customer_id=1234

Can this be done?

Thanks in advance,
Steve.
