displaying report question

[vnarod]

I am using crystalviewer to display a number of crystal reports.

 

Is there a way to get parameter names from a

report before loading report? I need to

create a screen that should retrieve

parameter names from a report, allow user to

enter values for those parameters, pass

values back to report, and load/display it.

 

I havent' found a good place to ask Crystal Reports questions. Any suggestions?

I don't know how to get the parameter names from the report, but couldn't you just hard-code the parameters into a combobox.

Or if your building the report parameters at runtime then you already have access to them.

 

Of course getting the list directly from the report would be better.

My app will show tens of reports, each with its own parameters, so hard coding is not an option.

oh, good point.
