Hello Bruce,

The provided information is insufficient for us to determine what is the problem you're reporting. Can you elaborate on it and/or provide a sample that exhibits the issue, so we can run it locally and advise you accordingly?

Best wishes,

basically, the parameter value seemed to not be present during the initializing component procedure in the class. i moved the assignment of the parameter into the _needdatasource procedure, and it fired away perfectly.

i thought i had prior projects that assigned parameter values locally in that initial procedure just fine.

Hello Bruce,

The report parameters' values are not yet available in the report constructor and this is expected. If you abstract yourself from the fact that you work with 3rd party product and look to the reports as standard .NET classes (which they are), it's like initializing a property and trying to use it inside the class constructor.

All the best,
Steve
