passing parameters via an http hyperlink

[williamd]

I want to pass a paramter via hyperlink to my .rpt and use that parameter as the controlling factor of what the output of the report is, i.e.

http://www.some.url/report.rpt?param=value

any clues if that is possible?

thanks.

pass the parameter in the URL:

http://path/yourreportname.rpt?param0=value1,value2,

etc.

step 1: make a parameter field in your report "insert parameter" place it on your report

step 2: use the "select expert" to create a formula that will be used to select the records you want in your report
