parameter passing using url

[Guest]

I want to open a crystal report using a viewer to do so and want to have my
user click on a link to my webserver. The problem is the report is based on
a stored procedure that requires a parameter. I want to have the value of
the parameter included in the url link that the user uses in their email.
Thanks for any guidance.

A parameterized URL (with a Query String) would do it. Example:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Query+String

Thank you for such a quick response. I have now
servername/myintranet/clinicianIDEntry.aspx?clinicianid=194.033&action=raw

the report does not open with correct data.

The QueryString merely passes the data. Someone (some code) has to catch it
to use it. Now, don't ask me how to get the data into the report, as I don't
use Crystal Reports. But the data is available to the page, via the
Request.QueryString Collection.
