invalid parameter feild error

[vman2]

Hi, im trying to set a cr7 parameter from vb6.this is the code i have used.

CrystalReport1.ParameterFields(1) = "TWC"

I tried using

'CrystalReport1.ParameterFields(1).AddCurrentValue (txtTarName)

but upon adding the .addcurrentvalue this did not appear as an auto complete infact nothing did which leeds me to think maybe cr7 has not installed a component which i need?

the error i receive is run time "invalid parameter feild "

but it does exist in CR and exicutes the code until it reaches CrystalReport1.Action = 1 if i wave the mouse over this i get CrystalReport1.Action = 1 = <property is write only> any ideas? thanks

ok, im using an ocx control, the other thing is. if i comment out the line,it prompts me for the parameter and then runs the report correctly.

The OCX uses a zero based index, try:

CrystalReport1.ParameterFields(0) = &quot;TWC&quot;

The other syntax is for the RDC, not the OCX. Ken Hamady, On-site Custom Crystal Reports Training & Consulting

I'm having the same problem, and I tried using both 0 based and 1 based index, same error both times. I am also using the .ocx. I have 6 parameter fields and I cannot get to pass the parameters in automatically. If it makes a difference, my first two parameters (the ones I want to input automatically) are date values (start date and end date). Thanks in advance,

Are you passing date literals in Crystal syntax?
