Thread: How to avoid being prompted twice for parameters?

How to avoid being prompted twice for parameters? Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I have two date parameters in my report. When I run the report, I am prompted to enter values for these two parameters. I enter values and click OK and then I am prompted again to enter values for the same two parameters. How can I fix this?

The report uses the command feature to specify the sql. The two parameters are used in the where clause as follows:

and SPES.CreateDate between {?SPESCreateDateStart} and dateadd(day, 1, {?SPESCreateDateEnd})

This is the only place in the report where the parameters are used. The parameters are not displayed in the report and are not used in any formulas. There are no sub-reports.

I also noticed that when I checkout the report from the Architect/Manage Reports, I am prompted once for the parameters before the report shows up in the CheckOut folder.

I am using SLX 7.2 with the SLX provided version of Crystal (11.5).

I've run into this same issue and haven't found any solution.

Since you have no subreports, how about using a main report that is just a holder. Put two matching parameters in the main report and pass them to the sub report parameters via linking.

Is there any When Open action tied to the report in the Execution tab of the edit properties of the report in Architect?
