 Bob,

The report is what needs the parameter prompting turned off. The viewer
only displays what is in the report.

Please see "step before step 1" below.

PJ

//Use the viewer object to create plannerCode & productCode parameters
 rpt1301 myReport = new rpt1301();

// step before step 1
// **** the line needs to refer to the report and be set before setting
ReportSource in the viewer to myReport
 myReport.EnableParameterPrompting = False
//*****

 //Step 1: assign report object to viewer
 crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = myReport;
 //Step 2: reference parameterFields collection

OK, can it be done at all with the viewer?
