Pass Parameter directly to SubReport from VB

[mdecap]

I have an old legacy VB 6 application that uses Crystal Reports 9.

One Report I have is acting quite strange passing parameters to the main report and then via Sub Report Links to a subreport.

I was wondering, is there a way in the VB code to pass a parameter directly to the subreport?

I currently use the following format to pass paramteters to the main report: MainReportExternal.ParameterFields.GetItemByName("@FILTERTYPE").AddCurrentValue strFilterType

Could there be a nice way of using something along the lines of "MainReportExternal.subreports(0).parameterfields..." to pass directly to the subreport via the main report?

Not sure you would want to do that. The sub report is an object within the main Crystal Report.

Crystal has a perfectly good means of passing data from main to subreport so why would you want to do something different.

As the adage says "if it aint broke don't fix it!"
