Returning Information to the Client

rbuser

I am having difficulty finding a way to return information to a reprt client
from a report server and was hoping you could help me find a way or tell me
if it is even possible.
Here is what I'd like to do: First, the user enters a username and password.
I am using the ValidateSessionParameters to pass this information to the
report server and lookup in a database whether it is valid. So far, so good.
Here is what I'm having a problem with. If the user is valid then I need to
get a list of drivers from the database and return that to the client. I
first tried populating a SessionParam.picklist, but that SessionParam is not
transmitted to the Client. The only way I've found to transmit to the client
is by calling the GetSessionParams, but that can only be called before
ValidateSessionParameters and not after. If there is a way to get around
this limitation please let me know.

Thanks,

Warren

Are you using RB 7.03?

I think we modified RB 7.03 so that ValidateSessionParameters returns the
parameters to the client.

Check the release notes or access the ReportDesigner select the Help | About
option to check the exact version. Contact info@digital-metaphors.com with
your full registration info if you need info on updating to RB 7.03.

Nope, I've got 7.02, I'll get .03 and give it a try.
Thanks
