ParameteRR fields in Runtime

Post by Eddie_Marshall » Mon Mar 14, 2005 12:38 pm

We have a client who is running a report using the Version 10 Runtime files, from within our application. There are ParameteRR fields in the report, but when they run the report they do not have the opportunity to specify values for the ParameteRR fields. The report just runs with the default values. The user may have Version 8.1 full version installed on his machine, or possibly the network. There is a calculated field with expressiom IIF(ERROR(DATEFIELD1),{31/12/2999},DATEFIELD2). The user is alo getting a message that this calculated field must be edited before he runs the report.____No other users are experiencing this behaviour. We think that it looks like there may be a cpnflict between Version 8.1 and the Version 10 Runtime.____Can you think of anything that may be casuing this and what we can do to resolve it?____Thanks in anticpaition.____Eddie Marshall__Technical Support Manager__LandMaster

The version 8.1 runtime must be what is really being executed. It would treat a parameteRR field as a character field whose value is the parameteRR default value and would indeed not prompt you.____AND if this is the EXE that is being found, that might help to explain your other UDF problem. The required UDF file is likely not in the v8.1 directory.____Kathleen__R&R Support

Kathleen,____The user copied the RRWRUN.EXE we distribute (Version 10) to overwrite that in his Version 8.1 directory. His reports now work! But this is a major licensing issue. It seems that somehow our application is picking up the wrong RRWRUN.EXE. I am goping to find out how we call RRWRUN.EXE in our application,. but is there a way to enure it picks up the correct RRWRUN.EXE!____Thanks for you help.____Eddie

If you are calling the EXE directly, then supply a full path. If you are using the OCX/DLL, make sure that the PROGDIR32= in the INI file points to the correct directory.____Kathleen__R&R Support

We are calling the RRWRUN.EXE directly so we^ll make a change to specify the full path.____Thanks very much.____Eddie
