And yet another parameter field problem

[Nickoteen]

Hiya, again

Let's try and find a solution to this one:

I have a report (CR 8.0) and it works just fine. It's called from within a VB project. Now, the thing that troubles me is this:

In the report, I created a parameter field called "Selection" and under Edit parameter field -> set default values I enter my default values ( 4 of them to be exact ). Now, in VB, I created 4 checkboxes, called Option1 thru Option 4. Whenever I click on any of these boxes (If chkbox1.value = vbChecked ) a string variable gets a value equal to the default values entered in the Parameter field default values section, and what it does, it allows me to control the Reports selection criteria ( select expert: {SpPrintQuery.Code1} = {?@Selection} ). Now, it all works fine except for one minor detail:

Since the report will generate data in correspondence with the values specified within the parameter field ( and there are none specified until I check one of the chkboxes ), first time generated, the report comes up empty.


This is the code I use ( and was written by someone else working here before me ), to generate the report for the first time:

Sirovine = "010"
Ambalaza = "100"
Energija = "110"
Rsnaga = "230"

Report.ParameterFields(4).AddCurrentValue Sirovine
Report.ParameterFields(4).AddCurrentValue Ambalaza
Report.ParameterFields(4).AddCurrentValue Energija
Report.ParameterFields(4).AddCurrentValue Rsnaga

CRViewer1.ReportSource = Report
CRViewer1.ViewReport

Is there some simple solution to avoid ( deactivate, bypass or something ) the parameter field when the report comes up, and then later trigger it somehow ?

Uhf, I hope u can make some sence out of all this .. Thnx!
