Crystal does not Promt for Parameters

[mushin]

Crystal 8.5 report with paramters prompts and uses paramters when running directly from Crystal...,But I am
calling the report from inside another application,VB and Progress...The report will run if I supply the param but it will Not prompt for it ....

What do I have to do to enforce the Prompt when calling the report from inside another application.....

example code:

connectString = "DSN = " + tDSN + ";UID = admin" + gLUserid + ";PWD = admin" + gLPassWord + ";DSQ = " + lDBname(1).
chctrlframe:CrystalReport:CONNECT = connectString.
chctrlframe:CrystalReport:reportfilename = fi-run.

chctrlframe:CrystalReportarameterFields(0) = "patientID;" + "10010" + ";true".

chctrlframe:CrystalReportrintreport.

Any clues ?

I am going to guess that your report is saved with data. Save it without data and see if that makes a difference. Ken Hamady, On-site Custom Crystal Reports Training & Consulting

Check that the property .EnableParameterPrompt of the viewer is never set to "False"
