Getting rid of the clucky parameter dialog box

[gzuhlk]

I want to open a report in Vb.net and since I am passing over parameters through code, i'd like to suppress the dialogue box whenever the report is to be shown...

How can I suppress the clucky crystal parameter box from popping up and pass all the parameters through VB code on the form side.

Or is there a way to make the crystal parameter box smaller, if it has to pop up?

How do I do that?

The box clucks?

The version of VB is somewhat important, but more so is the version of Crystal.

Here's the sample applications for VB.NET:

Search for parameters.

I have gone through the sample apps. from crystal, but I still get the "clucky" parameter popup box.

(Vb.Net Professional Edition 2002)

Here are two different ways I have tried:

Private Sub btnLoad_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnLoad.Click

''Set the viewer to the report object to be previewed.
Cr.ReportSource = crReportDocument

End Sub

Sub Parameters()

''Set the name of the parameter field, this must match a parameter in the report.

paramField.ParameterFieldName = "ClientName"

''Set the discrete value and pass it to the parameter
discreteVal.Value = txtName.Text
paramField.CurrentValues.Add(discreteVal)

''Set the parameter fields collection into the viewer control.
Cr.ParameterFieldInfo = paramFields
End Sub

Private Sub btnLoadReport_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnLoadReport.Click
Call Parameters()
End Sub

**************************************

Dim crParameterFieldDefinitions As ParameterFieldDefinitions
Dim crParameterFieldDefinition As ParameterFieldDefinition
Dim crParameterValues As ParameterValues

Friend WithEvents CrystalReportViewer1 As CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer

Dim crParameterDiscreteValue As ParameterDiscreteValue
'''Create an instance of the strongly-typed report object
crReportDocument = New CRParams()

'''Get the collection of parameters from the report
crParameterFieldDefinitions = crReportDocument.DataDefinition.ParameterFields
'''Access the specified parameter from the collection
crParameterFieldDefinition = crParameterFieldDefinitions.Item("clientName&quot

'''Get the current values from the parameter field. At this point
'''there are zero values set.
crParameterValues = crParameterFieldDefinition.CurrentValues

'''Set the current values for the parameter field
crParameterDiscreteValue = New ParameterDiscreteValue()

crParameterDiscreteValue.Value = (txtName.Text)

'''Add the current value for the parameter field
crParameterValues.Add(crParameterDiscreteValue)

'''All current parameter values must be applied for the parameterfield.crParameterFieldDefinition .ApplyCurrentValues(crParameterValues)

Any suggestions on how to get this to work, I must be missing something rather simple.
