Crystal report viewer

[pnp]

Hi all,
I would like the crystal report to ask for its own params every time it
is run from the .NET viewer... How can I do this?

I use CR10. The thing is that I want to be able the report to ask for
its own parameters when it is run (like in the crystal designer) and not
set them through the report viewer. When I run a report with no params
it is displayed OK but when I run one with params I get the error "Load
report failed"...

just use a form to get this input and set the parameters in the same way you
always do.

Thanks on your reply.
This is what I want to avoid. I would prefer that when the rpt is run,
it asks for its' own params, like it does when it is run through the
crystal designer (not the .NET one)... Can this be done?

Hi,

No idea really, why don't you try it, just create a report with one
parameter and see if the viewer asks for it.

Also you could check in the CR support site. they have severalforums there.

Hi,

I'm in the process of creating a CR for a win app and when you include a
new parameter you get a dialog where you can especify the "Prompting text"
to be displayed.
Does this solve your problem?
It's a pretty ugly dialog though, so you better stick with you writting
your dialogs


cheers,
