Is it possible to replace the generic parmeter entry screen with one written in VB?
 
Of course you can. But why? You'll just have to write more code in VB to pass the values to the crystal report. Software Training and Support for Macola, Crystal Reports and Goldmine

There are some cases where creating your own parameter screen using VB is a good approach (e.g., you want to let the user select among "live" values in the database or you want to possible values in one parameter to depend on the value enrtered in another parameter).

Using the RDC, you assign parameter values programmatically using something like:
-------------------------------------------
Report.ParameterFields(1).SetCurrentValue()
-------------------------------------------

You should read the developer's online help and tech documents for more detailed help...
