I can display the report on a web form using the CrsytalReportViewerr and
setting the ParameterFieldInfo property as below.
===================================
Dim cr As New Print_rpt()
Dim paramField As New ParameterField()
Dim paramFields As New ParameterFields()
Dim paramDiscreteValue As New ParameterDiscreteValue()
Dim paramValues As New ParameterValues()

paramDiscreteValue.Value = "0000000682"
paramValues.Add(paramDiscreteValue)
paramField.CurrentValues = paramValues
paramFields.Add(paramField)
0
0000682")
CrystalReportViewer1.ParameterFieldInfo = paramFields
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = cr
==========================================

That works no problem. But i dont want to display the report I want to just
export the report. If the report had no parameters I would use the code
below to produce the export.

=============================================================
Dim dfdoCustomers As New
CrystalDecisions.Shared.DiskFileDestinationOptions()
'dfdoCustomers.DiskFileName = "filename.pdf"
Dim cr As New AddressLabels()
'With cr
' .ExportOptions.ExportDestinationType =
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
' .ExportOptions.ExportFormatType =
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
' .ExportOptions.DestinationOptions = dfdoCustomers
' .Export()
'End With
==================================================================

But how would i add parameters to this export code if the report required
parameters. Am i completely on the wrong lines. Do I have to use a
CrsytalReportViewer if i wish to pass parameters to the report?

Thanks in advance. Any help would really be appreciated.

Thanks

In addition to al the great info in Brian's book, there is also a thread on
this in the crystal decisions support forums:
http://support.crystaldecisions.com/forums/message.asp?fid=251&mid=93019

The code there is C#.  There is a thread in
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet with VB code. Search for "Missing
Parameter Field Current Value when running a report in .NET -- when
exporting"
