Hi,

Can I assign a value to a Parameter in code so that I can hide the prompt  from user?
I tried to do it in formular like this:
{?pFacilityId} := 'SFO';
{?pFacilityId}
 
But CR 10 did not like it giving error.
 
I would be great if some one or Brian has a way to do it.

Which object model are you using?  CrystalViewer or ReportDocument?  In either case, you have to access the Parameters property of the report.  It looks something like this:

ParameterDiscreteValue discreteVal = new ParameterDiscreteValue();
ParameterValues curvalues = new ParameterValues();
foreach (ParameterFieldDefinition parafld in crReport.DataDefinition.ParameterFields)
{
  if (parafld.DiscreteOrRangeKind.ToString() == "DiscreteValue")
  {
    discreteVal.Value = Request.QueryString[parafld.ParameterFieldName];
    if (discreteVal.Value != null)
    {
      curvalues.Add(discreteVal);
      parafld.ApplyCurrentValues(curvalues);
    }
  }
}
There are some other things you have to do if you have range value parameters.

Thank you for your response.
I'm not doing thru an application. I'm only writing the report using the CR designer.
I've tried all kinds but nothing works !!!

You can't do it inside the report.
