Hi!
Sorry, but I can't seem to get any help with this on the Crystal Reports
web site, so I'm hoping someone here can help.
I have a Web Page which gathers parameters for a Crystal Report, stores
them in the web session, and then does a redirect to a page that has on it
two objects only: a Crystal Report (not an embedded report, but an external
stored report) and a Crystal Viewer control.
I'm setting the parameters in the Page Init, as opposed to the Page Load,
and the report runts well, with one exception. I'm using the activex printer
control, so when users hit the viewer control's print button, it brings up
the standard printer dialogue and lets them choose the printer. When they
print the entire report, everything works well, However, occasionally when
they choose to print one or two pages in the middle of the report, they are
repropmted for the report's parameters! Also, sometimes, when they 'go to'
specific pages, rather than just paging forward and back, they are reprompted
for parameters.
There's a whole discussion about page persistence in the Crystal Reports
10 'Additional' SDK, but it's WAAAYY over my head. Is that what I'm missing
here? All I want to do is stop the viewer from reprompting for values and
have it just display or print the correct information for that page! What do
I have to code in order to get this to work correctly, and why should I have
to code anything at all? How dumb is it that the viewer is so flawed that it
won't really work the way it's supposed to?
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
