Eliminate or bypass parameter prompt through VB code? 2

[ITdev]

Does anyone know how I can stop the parameter prompt from appearing through Visual Basic? I am passing parameter values through the paramter fields but don't want the parameter prompt to appear. Thanks in advance.

To disables parameter prompting in VB so the user won’t be prompted for a value.
'CRXReport is report object in Report Design Component(RDC)
CRXReport.EnableParameterPrompting = False

Syntax depends on which integration method you are using ( faq149-237 )

Thank you for your response to my question. I apologize if I wasn't clear. Your FAQ was helpful on clarifying my question. Here are some more info...
The version of Crystal Reports I am using is 8.0. It connects to an access 2000 database through database files. My visual basic project includes printing three crystal reports one after another. I am passing a parameter from VB so that the title and other sections can be displayed dynamically on crystal report.
Here's my code:
CrystalReport1.Destination = crptToPrinter
CrystalReport1.ReportFileName = "C:\report\campus.rpt"
CrystalReport1.ParameterFields(0) = "Campus;" & strCamp
CrystalReport1.Action = 1

CrystalReport1.Destination = crptToPrinter
CrystalReport1.ReportFileName = "C:\report\grades.rpt"
CrystalReport1.ParameterFields(0) = "Grades;" & strGrd
CrystalReport1.Action = 1

The problem is that the parameter dialog box would prompt the user each time (3 times) before printing. The parameter serves no other use except for display. I am trying to find a way to avoid the parameter prompt so that the 3 reports would go directly to the printer.

I am using VB 6.0 with crystal report control as a components.

Do you know if there is a way to code this from VB so that crystal report would print without displaying a parameter prompt?

I have looked at the RDC. I have never use it and will experiment with it. Is there another method to avoid the parameter without RDC?

Thanks in advance.

CrystalReport1.ParameterFields(0) = "Campus;" & strCamp & ";true"

Balves is correct, the third argument is what tells it to skip the prompt (FALSE, the default, would mean keep the prompt). Ken Hamady, On-site Custom Crystal Reports Training & Consulting

I appreciate your help and response. I can't believe it was that simple. I was reading the Crystal report 8 complete reference and didn't even notice the "true" or "false". #-)
