Crystal Reports - "Enter Parameter Values"

[tigger1]

Ok, bit complicated to explain as I don't fully understand what I'm doing!

"We" use Crystal Reports to form reports in some custom software. These reports are based on SQL queries, and are created using the Crystal Reports design view (not lines and lines of code) - along with a valid SQL query in MS-SQL.

When a report is being run, after asking (in the custom software) for the parameters required, a CR window titled "Enter Parameter Values" appears, asking for values for 2 of the parameters used.

WHY!?!??!?

These have already been specified.

I think I have found a solution: -
"Set ReuseReportParametersOnRefresh = False"

But because I don't code the CR's, only drag and drop stuff, I've no idea how to do these.

If anyone can advise a CR numpty-virgin that'd be much appreciated!

Fixed it.

The report needs to be previewed once (or more) in crystal reports for it to intialise the parameters...or something.

It worked anyway, I'll know for sure next time I create a new report.

Having exactly the same problem again - and previewing it in CR didn't fix it...so seems I just got lucky last time.

Anyone any ideas?

Bumped for the night crew.

It means that your custom software isn't assigning the parameter values correctly, hence the prompt for the values. What language you writing in?
