Hi All,
 
I am passing a parameter called "prmStartupDate" to the main report. I am displaying this parameter in the header part of the main report. I have a subreport called "Employees", now my problem is i need to pass the value of "prmStartupDate" to this subreport through VB.Net code.
 
Can anyone help me in this regard.
 
TIA

Thanks,
Sunil

You need to add the param to the subreport.  I usually do this by setting up a subreport link to the parameter.  If I don't need the param value in the selection criteria for the subreport, I then remove it from the selection criteria.  This leaves the link set up so that the parameter is sent to the subreport from the main report.  If you do this, I don't think you need to actually set the parameter value for the subreport in your code.
