Parameter Values inside Application

[crystalkiwibruce]

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 with Crystal Reports 2010.

I've got my code loading values into parameter fields, but now I want my log to show what parameters values were used in the report if the user just answered the parameter form on the Viewer object on the form.

Lot's of objects to interrogate, but I can't see an easy way to extract the values of the parameters inside the report. Just want them as a String value to put in a message.

Hi,
Although not handled by Crystal, you should be able to add code that would write to a log file to the subroutine you already have ( I assume) that populates the parameter values or passes them to Crystal.

That would work fine if the parameter values were controlled by the application.

But there is also the situation where the user answers the prompts and fills the parameter values. The application doesn't know what those values are when the viewer displays the form.

Hi,
If the user is only responding to the prompts generated by the Crystal object, then it may not be possible to capture them since they are not 'known' ouside the viewer's scope.
