Hi

 

Is there a way to somehow get the value of a text object into a formula field?

 

Basically I need to fill values in a report by an outside process in ASP.

 

Is there some way to do this? Access in old ASP any kind of object in the report to later use this object inside a formula?

 

thanks

Hi Dell, thank you for the reply.

 

The question is if I can access these parameters in ASP.

 

I know I can set values of text objects by iterating the crystal object sections and then ReportObjects, but what about these parameters?

 

these values to be used in the formula have to be set in ASP.

 

 

 

Looking at the old code, you use the Parameterfields.getItembyName(<item>).SetCurrentValue where <item> is the name of the parameter that you want to set.  There are two parameters to SetCurrentValue method - the value of the parameter and a number that indicates the type.  We only pass integers and strings so our calls look like this:

oRpt.Parameterfields.getItembyName(item).SetCurrentValue CInt(temp), 7

or
oRpt.Parameterfields.getItembyName(item).SetCurrentValue CStr(temp), 12

 

You could find the information for other types of values on the BO developer website.

When I fill a parameter like this-

 

 

OR

 

objReport.ParameterFields("@Title").SetCurrentValue("TEST")

 

 it doesn't appear to have a value when the report loads,

 

and when I fill a formula field like this

 

 

and I place a blank formula of @Title in the report I get an error-

 

 

Ok, I can fill a formula field using -  chr(34) & "text" & chr(34)

 

but ParameterFields No can do.

 

No comprende.

 

Going crazy here.
