Yo All,
can someone tell me how to pass a value for a report variable from a
Delphi program to ReportSmith ?  According to the manual it should go
as follows :
    AReport.InitialValues.Add ('@varName=<someValue>');
    AReport.Run;

this should prevent ReportSmith from  displaying a dialog-box to query
for a value for the variable.  Unfortunately : this doesn't seem to
work (i.e. the darn dialog box keeps popping up).

Tnx,
Frank

Hi Frank,

I usually do something like this:

procedure Form1.btnPreview(Sender: TObject);
begin
  iCustNoValue := edtCustNo.Text;
{ Get a Value for the Report Variable from somewhere, e.g. EditBox}
  Report1.InitialValues.Clear;
  Report1.InitialValues.Add('@iCustNo=<'''+ iCustNoValue +'''>');
  Report1.Run;
end;

In this case the name of the ReportVariable that I have set up in
ReportSmith is iCustNo.

When creating the RS variable that you want to update, there are four
ways in which you can select a entry: Type-in, select from a table,
select from 2 values... When I use that method I made the variable a
typed-in value and the dialog-box did not pop-up
