Has anybody accomplished one report executing another crystal report and passing a parameter .

I know this can be done by adding an hyperlink to the report and passing a parameter. Can somebody share the excat sysntax after publishing both on lbi.

something like this:

"http://lbiserver/efs/FSRemote?fsid=FSRemote?fsid=RS:RS-Reporting Services:12&parametername=parametervalue "

you can see more options in the RS user guide, Chapter 8: Scripting Reports

Instead of executing the crstal report when a parameter is passed, I would like to bring up the latest instance of the report via the parent report.

According to chapter 8 of the reporting services manual & InstanceId=Latest should be added. Has anybody tried this ? Does this work ?

yeah, just append that to the end of the URL. Keep in mind that if there is no historical instance it will run the report with Data Refresh.

This is very helpful. Is there anyway i can prevent the whole report to run with report refresh if there is no historical instance created.

the only way would be to explicitly define the numbered instance. Instance=##
