Crystal Runtime exception: Missing parameter values

Our company did a PeopleTools upgrade at one of our clients recently. We upgraded them to PeopleTools 8.50.08. We had to convert all the Crystal Reports to the 2008 format using the RPT converter which is included in the Client install of PeopleTools.
The only problem now is that a lot of the Crystal processes in PeopleSoft are failing with the following error:
Crystal Runtime exception: Missing parameter values.
I've checked the parameters which are being passed to the report and I see both parameters are filled:
E:\HR881\BIN\CLIENT\WINX86\PSCRRUN.EXE -CTORACLE -CDHRMKPDEV -COPSDUT -CPOPRPSWD -I218609 -RP"PUP202K" -OT6 -OP"G:\PS\PSPRCS\log_output\HRMKPDEV\CRW_PUP202K_218609" -LGDUT -OF2 -ORIENTL "2000-10-01" "2002-06-30"
Database type is Oracle. HRMS version is 8.8. I can run the Query which gets the data in just fine and I can also run the report from Crystal fine. This only happens with Crystal reports which have a date field as a parameter/prompt in the report.
There's currently an SR open at Oracle, but I was hoping that someone here can help me nail this issue. I'm not too happy with the quallity of Oracle support, but that's a whole different story.

<s>Just to be sure, did you put a space after each parameter name or is it a typo over here ?
E:\HR881\BIN\CLIENT\WINX86\PSCRRUN.EXE -CT ORACLE -CD HRMKPDEV -CO PSDUT -CP OPRPSWD -I 218609 -RP "PUP202K" -OT 6 -OP "G:\PS\PSPRCS\log_output\HRMKPDEV\CRW_PUP202K_218609" -LG DUT -OF 2 -OR IENTL "2000-10-01" "2002-06-30"</s>

sorry, it was wrong assumption.

CRVS2010 Beta - Missing parameter values

I want to export my report to pdf file and I want to set some parameters in report in runtime.
But when I try to do it I have exception "Missing parameter values".
Productversion: Visual Studio 2010 + Crystal Report 2008 + service pack v3.
I read that problem was resolved in service pack v2.
But now I don't have any idea how to fix my problem.
I create report and add parameters ("MyParameter") as string.
My test project:
//Load report
//Set db connection
try
                        ParameterValues crParameterValues = report.DataDefinition.ParameterFields["MyParameter"].CurrentValues;
               ParameterDiscreteValue crParameterDiscreteValue = new ParameterDiscreteValue {Value = "SBSUrl"};
               crParameterValues.Clear();
               crParameterValues.Add(crParameterDiscreteValue);
               report.DataDefinition.ParameterFields["MyParameter"].ApplyCurrentValues(crParameterValues);
               report.VerifyDatabase();
               report.Refresh();
                  string reportFileName = string.Format(@"D:\CrystalReport\CRResult-{0}.pdf", DateTime.Now.Ticks);
                  ExportOptions rptExportOption;
                  var rptFileDestOption = new DiskFileDestinationOptions();
                  var rptFormatOption = new PdfRtfWordFormatOptions();
                  rptFileDestOption.DiskFileName = reportFileName;
                  rptExportOption = report.ExportOptions;
                       rptExportOption.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;
                       rptExportOption.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat;
                       rptExportOption.ExportDestinationOptions = rptFileDestOption;
                       rptExportOption.ExportFormatOptions = rptFormatOption;
                  report.Export(); // I have exception here ("Missing parameter values.")
             catch (Exception e)
                  Console.WriteLine(e);
          private void SetCurrentValuesForParameterField(ReportDocument reportDocument, ArrayList arrayList)
               ParameterValues currentParameterValues = new ParameterValues();
               foreach (object submittedValue in arrayList)
                    ParameterDiscreteValue parameterDiscreteValue = new ParameterDiscreteValue();
                    parameterDiscreteValue.Value = submittedValue.ToString();
                    currentParameterValues.Add(parameterDiscreteValue);
               ParameterFieldDefinitions parameterFieldDefinitions = reportDocument.DataDefinition.ParameterFields;
               ParameterFieldDefinition parameterFieldDefinition = parameterFieldDefinitions["MyParameter"];
               parameterFieldDefinition.CurrentValues.IsNoValue = true;
               parameterFieldDefinition.ApplyCurrentValues(currentParameterValues);
Could anybody help me with this exception?

Make sure you log on to the database, set the parameter, then export.

ReportDocument.Export() raises "Missing Parameter Values" exception

Hi
Recently I encountered a question about SAP Crystal Report that I have a rpt file with several sub reports and I am required to make the data source to be XML with http/https URLs. I created different .NET pages which returns XML stream as data source for both main report and sub reports in my rpt file, and also created a sub report links which pass dynamic parameters from main report to the sub reports, everything worked fine when I entered the necessary parameters only for the main report in the design tool, both the main report and sub reports displayed perfectly.
But it did not work in my .NET application which export the reports to PDFs, I referenced “CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine” and some other necessary DLLs into my project, and then I created an instance of ReportDocument, loaded the rpt file, set parameters which used in the main report, set connection info, and at last when I export the report it throw out an exception with “Missing Parameter Values” error message, even though I removed the sub report links which pass parameters from main report, the exception still occurred, but when I removed all the sub reports, and only export the main report it worked!!
Here is a result of my attempts:
Main Report
Sub Report
Result
1
With XML data source
No report
Works fine with dynamic parameters set to the http/https url which returns an xml results
2
With XML data source
Pass a static value and print it on the report
Works fine.
3
With XML data source
Create a SQL command WITHOUT any parameters passed from main report
Works fine
4
With XML data source
Create a SQL command WITH a dynamic parameter passed from main report
Works fine
5
With XML data source
Create a xml data source WITHOUT any parameters passed from main report
Failed with "Missing Parameter Values"
6
With XML data source
Create a xml data source WITH a dynamic parameter passed from main report
Failed with "Missing Parameter Values"
I am confused about this issue for a few days, is there any ideas or helps? many thanks!

OK:
We upgraded to CR 13.0.2000.0 and Visual Studio 2012 and .Net Framework 4.5.
Problem still happens.
When we display the report in the designer, the url has parameters. Here are the IIS log entries:

ReportDocument.ExportToStream raises "Missing Parameter Values" exception

Hi,
I have a web app built using VS 2008 which runs many reports developed in CR 2008. Most of these reports take parameters and many have embedded subreports. Many of the reports can either be viewed directly or e-mailed. For the latter, I use ReportDocument.ExportToStream(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat) to export a PDF file which then gets attached to the e-mail.
One set of reports works fine when viewed directly, but raises a "Missing Parameter Values" exception when I try to generate the PDF. All the other reports, seemingly similar in most respects, including the number and type of parameters, work fine when calling ExportToStream.
Here is the really strange part: the exception is spurious. I wrapped the whole thing in a try/catch block to better examine the exception, hoping to find which parameter value is actually missing. I could not identify the missing parameter value, but once I handled the exception, the report runs fine and converts to PDF.
Any hints as to what could be causing this problem? It seems like a really bad hack to solve the problem using a try/catch in this way.
Thanks.
Dan

Thanks for the quick response. Your code was very instructive, but did not help yet. Here is what I have:
(This response is too long for a single post, so I will split it and finish in the next post.)
ReportDocument rptDoc = new ReportDocument();
rptDoc.Load(strReportSourceFolder + strReportName + ".rpt");
rptDoc.SetParameterValue("ClientID", lngKeyFieldID);
rptDoc.SetParameterValue("Role", "Client");
This is followed by an amazing chunk of code, provided to me by a guy at SAP Tech Support, who said it was necessary to pass database credentials programatically. It iterates the tables in the ReportDocument and individually sets the LogonInfo. (I say "amazing" because it astounds me you have to jump through such hoops for something that should be routine and easy.) The commented lines are just to help in debugging.
ConnectionInfo conn = new ConnectionInfo();
conn.ServerName = "myServer";
conn.DatabaseName = "myDB";
conn.UserID = "myUserID";
conn.Password = "myPassword";
Tables tables = rptDoc.Database.Tables;
foreach (Table table in tables)
//string str= table.TestConnectivity().ToString());
TableLogOnInfo tableLogonInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
tableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = conn;
table.ApplyLogOnInfo(tableLogonInfo);
//table.Location = table.Location;
This is followed by the viewer stuff:
CrystalReportViewer1.DisplayGroupTree = false;
CrystalReportViewer1.DisplayToolbar = true;
CrystalReportViewer1.HasToggleGroupTreeButton = false;
CrystalReportViewer1.HasToggleParameterPanelButton = false;
CrystalReportViewer1.Page.Title = strReportName;
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rptDoc;
Up to here, it works fine, displaying the report. If the report is also to be e-mailed, the following is executed:
if (bEmail)
// export to PDF, then mail that
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
MailAddress from = new MailAddress(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ReportMailFrom"].ToString());
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
message.From = from;
message.SubjectEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
message.Subject = "E-mail BackOffice report: " + strReportName;
try
    foreach(ParameterField field in rptDoc.ParameterFields)
      Logger.LogEvent("test", "", field.ToString(), "Trace", null, true, true);
      Logger.LogEvent("test", "", "Name: " + field.Name, "Trace", null, false, false);
      Logger.LogEvent("test", "", "PromptText: " + field.PromptText, "Trace", null, false, false);
      Logger.LogEvent("test", "", "IsOptionalPrompt: " + field.IsOptionalPrompt, "Trace", null, false, false);
    MemoryStream memStream = (MemoryStream)rptDoc.ExportToStream(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat);
    Attachment data = new Attachment(memStream, MediaTypeNames.Application.Pdf);
    ContentDisposition disposition = data.ContentDisposition;
    disposition.CreationDate = DateTime.Now;
    disposition.ModificationDate = DateTime.Now;
    disposition.FileName = strReportName + ".pdf";
    disposition.DispositionType = DispositionTypeNames.Attachment;
    message.Attachments.Add(data);
catch (Exception ex)
    Logger.LogEvent("error", "Page_Load", strReportName + " Exception: " + ex.Message, "Trace", null, true, true);
// ... do the rest of the stuff to create & send the e-mail
(The rest of this message will be in the following post. Sorry it is so long.)

Missing parameter values when trying to export to pdf in C#

HI all,

I'm having a problem passing a parameter from my c#.NET code through Crystal Reports 2008...

Crystal Reports Developer version 12.1.0.892
using a WinXP machine
The parameter I've setted up in Crystal Reports Design is one to dynamically change the query that will run on the report:
"SELECT * FROM REPORTS.{?Protocolname}_FC_QUERY"


The code I use calling one of the reports I must provide:

Console.WriteLine(CR_reportDocument.DataDefinition.ParameterFields.ParameterFieldName);
if(CR_reportDocument.DataDefinition.ParameterFields.ParameterFieldName==

CR_reportDocument.Refresh();
CR_reportDocument.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat,"C:\\Data\\converted2crystal\\EDC_PLANNING_RPT_params.pdf");

Can someone please tell me what's the right way passing a parameter to a report?

Thanks in advance.

You should use the
ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("ParameterName", "ParamValue");

Try parsing the parameter value to a decimal value before setting it as parameter value.
Hope this will help

Error Missing parameter values - I get this in 11g app server only

Hi.. I had an application in JSP-Struts, previously on 10g app server. I now migrated the code into 11g.
I get the error on CrystalViewer.jsp
Error
Missing parameter values
Steps that lead up to the error:
The very first time anyone enters the application and clicks a submit button on the jsp, after entering data and/or picking from drop menus, the error shows up on a separate page (thrown by crystalViewer.jsp)
When I get this error, and click the browsers back button, and simply click the submit button on the jsp screen again, the reports work fine (like they do in 10g).
Tried the following:
I used log4j and followed the data as it made its way from Struts to Crystal Factory. But once it gets out of Struts, and forwards to Crystal, I receive the error from the CrystalViewer.jsp
Next, I removed code in struts-action, that used crystal factory to 'set parameter', and didnt send any parameters, letting my crystal report bring back some random records.. And this works even the first submit! So the problem is only when I have to send parameters to crystsl
Additional info:
I do not send any null values across, since I read on these forums that folks were having issues with setting nulls etc... I check for null and then force 'All' in the parameter if the user does not enter data or pick from the drop-down.
I need help resolving this . Thanks and have a great day.
(Are there any changes to be made to the Struts config, or any additions to Web.xml? Should Crystal reports be changed in anyway so they can function like they did in 10g?)

The Crystal SDK doesn't know or care that you're using Struts.
The exception is stating you're not setting parameters.
So wherever you're trying to set parameters, whatever's reaching the viewer don't have them set.
Why not trace the workflow to see what's where?
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Missing Parameter Values - C# - Pushing Datatables to feed data to Report

Hello,
I am working on a .NET project to process close to 650 "existing" reports developed in Crystal Reports 8.5. Rendering reports without subreports is working just fine. However I am getting the following error everytime I try to render a report that has multiple subreports
Missing parameter values. at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ConvertDotNetToErom.ThrowDotNetException(Exception e)
Following is how the reports are built.
Main Report - Fed with a Datatable whose name corresponds to the name of the SQL Query configured in Crystal UI
SubReport1 - Fed with a Datatable whose name corresponds to the name of the SQL Query configured in Crystal UI. The subreport is linked to the parent report using one of the fields in the Datatable that is passed to the main report.
Example: the main report receives a datatable with the following fields
EmployeeId (integer), EmployeeName (string)
The subreport receives a datatable with the following fields : EmployeeId (Integer), EmployeeHobbies (string)
The link is established as follows:
SubReportQueryName.EmployeeId link to MainReportQueryName.EmployeeId
_I have checked the data, its correct in terms of the fields required to render the report. The report parameters are being set from the code and ApplyCurrentValues is being called to ensure that the set values are used when rendering the report.
Please note that I am not using live connections to the database
I tried saving a copy of the above mentioned report and removing the subreport and then rendering the report, all works fine. However the moment i introduce the subreport, per the above mentioned report design/architecture all hell breaks loose and i cannot render the report.
The environment is Windows Vista and I am running VS 2008.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

The issue has been dealt with.
The solution is to set the datasource with a dataset even if the report or subreport expects or is configured to work with a single table.

Missing Parameter Values while using Change SubReport links

Hi,
I am using Change SubReport Links to pass data from Main Report to the SubReport. The report works fine at design time when I preview it, but at runtime I get "Missing Parameter Values" error.
As I have used Chanage SubReport Links do I still need to pass the parameter to the SubReport from the code.
cr.Export gives this error.
Below is the code
ExportOptions crExportOptions;
        DiskFileDestinationOptions crDiskFileDestinationOptions;
        string Fname = string.Empty;

"Missing parameter values." Error when setting record selection formula

Setup - VS 2008, CR 2008 (v12.0), Win XP & C#.Net
I have a form which loops through all parameters (non-linked to sub reports, so only off the main report) and allows users to enter the values for each parameter. When hitting the preview button, I loop through all of the saved values, set the parameter field values and then add any additional filters into the recordselection formula as below. The problem i'm having is that the ReportDocument.HasRecords returns true if the ReportDocument.RecordSelectionFormula doesn't filter out every result.
For example, I have a list of customers and if I set the selection formula to filter out a specific customer, ReportDocument.HasRecors returns true, if I set the selection formula to filter something that doesn't exist i.e. customer "xk39df", the moment this line of code runs "ReportDocument.RecordSelectionFormula = rsFormula;" - ReportDocument.HasRecors returns the following exception as opposed to "False".
Message: Missing parameter values.

ErrorID: MissingParameterFieldCurrentValue
The strange thing is, it works fine if the recordselectionformula selects a record which exists in the results - all parameters have a current value except for the linked parameters.
This one has got me stumped!
foreach (ParameterFieldDefinition parameterField in ReportDocument.DataDefinition.ParameterFields)
 var query = ReportObjects.Values.Cast<Filters>().Where(objects => objects.ParameterName == parameterField.Name.ToUpper().Trim());
 foreach (var item in query)
 parameterField.CurrentValues.Clear();
 parameterField.CurrentValues.Add(item.ParameterValue);
 parameterField.ApplyMinMaxValues(item.MinLength, item.MaxLengh);
 parameterField.ApplyCurrentValues(parameterField.CurrentValues);
 var records = ReportObjects.Values.Cast<Filters>().Where(recordSelection => recordSelection.RecordSelectionFormula.Trim().Length != 0);
 foreach (var item in records)
 rsFormula += item.RecordSelectionFormula;
 if (rsFormula.EndsWith(" AND "))
 rsFormula = rsFormula.RTrim(5);
 ReportDocument.RecordSelectionFormula = rsFormula;

Hi,
The report has it's own ADO Datasource set in crystal reports, so I just pass the log on information to the report object before doing anything else.
this.DataSourceConnections[0].SetConnection("ServerName", "Database", "sa", "Password");
I then do a refresh before applying the parameter values (I do this because the user can preview the report more than one time by using a preview button on the parameter form without re-loading the report object)
this.Refresh();
Then I set all parameter values followed by setting the recordselection formula.

Missing Parameter Values CR2008 Optional Parameter

Hi,
I am getting "Missing Parameter Values" error
"CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ParameterFieldCurrentValueException: Fehlende Parameterwerte. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8004100E)"
if I try to export a Report with an optional Parameter without setting the parametervalue.
The Report works fine with ReportViewer.
If I uncomment the "Parameterpart" and set a parametervalue it works fine, but it should works without a parametervalue too, its optional.
I have tried many for a long time and read many Websites but it does not work !

You need to be careful when using optional parameters. If you are using the optional parameter in a record selection formula you'll need to check and make sure it has a value before you use it. There is a function call HasValue() that you can use to do this.
If you have an optional parameter in the record selection formula and you don't pass a value you'll need to make sure your selection formula can be completed with out it.
This is an excerpt from our help file.
Crystal Reports supports optional parameters. An optional parameter is a prompted value that does not have to be supplied by the user.
Report designers should provide some guidance to the end user that a parameter is optional by adding this information to the prompt text.
Optional parameters are treated by Crystal Reports as optional anywhere within the report that they are used. You cannot set one instance of the parameter to optional and another to mandatory.
Note: After you set a parameter to optional, if you use the Select Expert, the system will automatically add the selection formula for you using the HasValue() function.
The Formula Workshop Editor does not automatically add the formula. Only the Select Expert automatically adds the formula for you.
If you change the parameter from optional to mandatory, the HasValue() function is not automatically removed from your formula.
Handling a parameter with no value
When the report engine evaluates any formula which references an optional parameter that does not have a value, it generates a runtime error. All formulas that reference an optional parameter should first use the HasValue() function to check if that parameter has a value before evaluating it. This includes record selection formulas and saved data formulas.
Note: The system will not automatically drop a statement from the SQL WHERE clause. It is the report designeru2019s responsibility to decide which statement to leave out based on HasValue() testing.

"Missing parameter values" error on Export

Hi,
I am getting "Missing Parameter Values" error if all required parameter values are not passed in the report through application. Same error is not coming when all the parameters are passed.
And parameter window also not displaying if all parameters are not passed to the report for export option. (Parameter window displaying on preview option if all the parameters are not supplied).
I have tried both Report Viewer's ExportReport function & ReportDocument's Export function. But both are results same.
Software details:
Crystal Report created in Version: 10.0.0.533
.Net 2005
10.2 Crystal component. Crystal Runtime Version - v2.0.50727 and DLL Version - 10.2
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Venkateswaran.P

Given example is not working as expected.
1) Calling of ExportReport() function invokes the file Save As window to save the exported file eventhough exported path & file name supplied in the program.
2) After accepting the output file name, "Missing parameter values" error coming instead of displaying Crystal's Parameter window.
Below is the piece of code to export the output. I am calling Export() function if all the parameters are supplied by the application otherwise i am calling Viewer's ExportReport() fuction. Please have a look and let me know if any code change is required.
 ReportDocument crRepDocument;
 String m_strExportPath;
 Boolean bUseRepViewExport = false;
 if( crRepDocument.ParameterFields.Count > 0 )
 if (m_Parameters.Count < crRepDocument.ParameterFields.Count)
 bUseRepViewExport = true ;
 ExportOptions crExportOptions;
 DiskFileDestinationOptions crDiskFileDestinationOptions;
 crDiskFileDestinationOptions = new DiskFileDestinationOptions();
 crExportOptions = crRepDocument.ExportOptions;
 if (base.m_ExportFormat == eExportFormat.RTF)
 crDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = base.m_strExportPath + ".rtf";
 crExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;

"Missing parameter values." -- Export and Print only...

I have a web application and I am using CrystalReportViewer. I am passing several parameters to Crystal using:
report.SetParameterValue(field.Name, Session[field.Name]);
I have session variables which will hold parameters needed to pass into the report. The session variables are populated from controls on my webpage after an onclick event. This even not only populates session, but also passes parameters to the report with the following code:
ReportDocument report = new ReportDocument();
Session["MapPathName"] = "./Reporting/CaseStudy.rpt";
report.FileName = Server.MapPath(Session["MapPathName"].ToString());
ParameterFields fields = new CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterFields();
fields = report.ParameterFields;
foreach (ParameterField field in fields)
report.SetParameterValue(field.Name, Session[field.Name]);
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = report;
This works great for reporting and is very extensible. However, when clicking on the "Print" or "Export" buttons on the toolbar I get "Missing parameter values." I attempted to export manually in code using the .ExportToStream function but I still get the error, "Missing parameter values."
I received this error also in Refresh, Search, and Navigate functions. This was corrected by calling a function that supplies the above code block to these functions. However, I do not see any events for controlling the Print nor the Export events.
QUESTION: How can I print or export a report when passing parameters using CrystalReportViewer? Thanks in advance!

There are no Export or Print events accessible for the viewer
Since it sounds like you are creating the reportdocument object in your click event, the settings on this object become out of scope on successive postbacks executed by other events.
to get around this without major changes, you can place your "report" object in session in this event and retrieve it from session on successive postbacks. This should solve your problems around navigation, printing and exporting. What you will need to do is check if the session object exists (usually in page_load or page_initialze) and if so, retrieve it from session and bind it to the viewer's reportsource. If the session object does not exist, then do nothing (ie you have not clicked your button yet that retrieves the parameter values from session and loads the report). Also, in your click event you can check if the report session object exists and if so, remove it so that it can be re-created with your new parameter values (ie i'm assuming the only time you want to set parameter values is in this event).

Xcelsius missing parameter values (LO 26603)

Hi experts,
I've created a dashboard against a BW query using Live Office and a Crystal Report as the data source. Live Office and everything under it is using SAP authentication. When I click on the Refresh All Objects button in Live Office, I'm prompted for required parameters and then the data is refreshed successfully. However when I click Preview to generate the swf file, I get a "Cannot access external data. Missing parameter values (LO 26603)" The Crystal Report's database config has been set to logon as a specific SAP user and refreshes successfully from Infoview.
Business Objects Edge 3.1 SP3
Xcelsius 2008 SP3

Any suggestions?
Cheers

Which version of MS Office do you use? Any MS Office Service packs installed?

Use of layout when more than one parameter - Error Missing Parameter Values

Hi,
Is it possible to use a crystal report which has more than one parameter as the layout for the bill of materials report.
I have 3 parameters
       1. DocKey@       The Bill of Materials to be printed
       2. Number of levels to be printed
       3. type of levels to print.
When I try to print it gives me the error Missing Parameter Values.
I have tried changing the DocKey@ to CodeKey@ but the same error.
Does anyone now where to find a list of these tokens?
Thanks
Chris

I looked at the crystal report conversion to try to find what parameters it used and found none.
I have managed to create and use a crystal report to replace the production order using DocKey@ as the parameter. This works within SAP. However I have converted the system production order to crystal reports and from the converted report I cannot see any parameters at all.
How and where can you find out what paramters you need to use to replace any PLD report? Several reports have multiple selection criteria before the report prints. How can you find out what their tokens are called? I am starting to pull my hair out. I am getting great help from this forum, but do you know any documentation which actually explains this area.
Thanks
Chris

Why do I get Missing Parameter Values error from CrystalReportViewer in VS2005

Post Author: eseidel
CA Forum: .NET
Hi everyone,
I have spent way to much time trying to figure this problem out and am getting no where now. I was hoping someone with more experience in CR for VS2005(I think v.9) and VS2005 may be able to help. I have a report with 10 parameters that Im setting in code. I have another 3 parameters in a subreport(with same names as 3 in main report) that are being pushed in(I hope) through my ApplyParams() method. I have checked the output of each parameter before and after it is assigned in ApplyParams. All values are being set....So why do I keep getting an error when I run it for Missing Parameter Values no matter what I do? The error comes after SetDBLogonForReport(myConnectionInfo). I have been struggling with this problem for almost 3 days now and have tried numerous approaches. If I remove the subreport it works ok. Why is subreport not getting parameters(I think this is where the problem stems from)? Please any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. If need be I can e-mail the report but I don't know how much that will help without being able to access the datasources.

By any chance are the parameters in your subreport stored procedure parameters?
There was a specific fix for stored procedure parameters available from:ftp://ftp1.businessobjects.com/outgoing/CHF/crnet20win32x86_en_chf.zip
The specific fix is described in the readme under Problem ID # ADAPT00532856
