R&R 10 not prompting for parameters

Post by John_N_(Guest) » Wed Mar 17, 2004 12:14 pm

Hi all,____I^m having a real problem with R&R on one of my user^s machines.____It^s an XP machine and she^s trying to run a report that requires parameters.____Her machine accesses the runtime files via a network drive.____The problem is that when a report is run, it doesn^t ask for any parameters. The report runs, but without any user inputted parameters.____Has anyone else come across this, or can anyone offer a solution...?____Thanks :)____John

Is the parameter indeed used in the report and is the prompt at runtime box checked in its definition?____Kathleen__R&R Support

Yes and yes, the parameters are used in the report and the prompt at runtime box is checked in the definitions of both of the used parameters.____Thanks :)____>Is the parameter indeed used in the report and is the prompt __>at runtime box checked in its definition? __>__>Kathleen __>R&R Support __

And you are sure that your runtime executable is not an earlier release such as V8 so that a parameteRR would be treated as an ordinary calculation? That is at this point the most likely explanation of what you are seeing.____Kathleen__R&R Support

I am still thinking that this machine must be finding an earlier EXE.__If you could humor me and from this machine do a search to find all existences of the runtime executable.______Kathleen__R&R Support

That^s got it :) ____There was an old version of the runtimes hidden away on one of the network drives.____Thanks for all your help.____
