how to pass values to variables in formulas

[icthus]

hi!

i want to pass values to variables defined in formulas.Is that possible?

i have something like this:

StringVar x;
StringVar y;

"Text " + x + " and more text " + y

i'm using crystal activex control in vb6 and i want to pass the values to the variables, without overwriting the formula.


thanks.

regards,
Lena

There may be a way but I haven't seen it.

It would be simpler to pass the values to empty character formula fields in CR, and then concatenate the formula fields with the text in your final formula. Ken Hamady

Icthus: Why wouldn't ou use parameters to pass in these values? If you set up your formula as:

Stringvar x:= {?param1};
Stringvar y:= {?param2};
"Text"+x+"more text"+y

well... i'm just using the reports. They have already been made by another person.
Some formulas have "lots" of text and code, and i supposed that i could pass values only to variables.

thanks a lot
