Crystal is not reading parameters from the url

Hi,

I created a report that has one parameter, which will be passed to a stored procedure. I realized that the report is just ignoring all parameters (including user and password) that I'm passing through the url.

Report was not saved with the option "Save Data With Report" checked. It seems to be cached but I do not know how to force it to read the url parameters.

Others reports belonging to the same application are working fine so I don't think this is a server-related problem.

Thanks in advance

Can you post a segment of the URL you're trying to open the report with? We pass parameters to CE through a URL with &quot;prompt0=<value>&prompt1=<value>&quot;, with each prompt corresponding to the first (prompt0), second (prompt1), and so on parameter.
 
Copy the URL that is being passed into the ignored page, and manually paste and enter it into the browser address window. Does the link work?

Additionally, assuming the URL is being passed through a hyperlink, amend the URL being passed in the hyperlink so that it completely misses out any parameter information. Just pass the APS details (if you're using managed reports). The report should prompt you for parameter details. Does it ignore this and generate the report output anyway?

As Ohernan says, clue us in on the URL you're passing just for some background.
