Passing SQL to Crystal Reports
How do I pass an SQL statement to my report, and how is the report set up to handle this?
I'm not sure if answering this question will take a lot of typing or what, so I'll increase the points if necessary.
Bear in mind that I'm relatively new to ASP. This is the 2nd time I'm asking this question, the first time nobody even commented. Please help.

Thanks. I've read lots of documentation and not found any way to do it (passing SQL), but there's another way which I'm busy with right now and it seems to be working.
Here's an example of one of my statements:
NextForm.action="Report3.r
So I'm unsure of whether I'm going to need to pass SQL. This seems to do the job!

If it works for you...
I'll still take a look at the SQL thing if I get a chance. Good for me to do anyway.

I did have those include files and the output I showed was when using them, or at least one of them.
However, I've managed to accomplish what I was trying without using SQL. I used a selection formula, which was a bit of a hassle at first, but it's all fine now.
If it's allowed, I can give you the points for your efforts, as I'm sure they would've worked if I continued to follow your suggestions. Thanks for your help.

To be honest I have never used formula on such occassions... Well as long it works I wouldnt worry...
Rooesh Mohan,
Do you have the coding for SmartViewerJava.asp, SmartViwer HTMLFrame.asp and SmartViewHTMLPAge.asp? if you do, can i have them?

I think I may be able to help with this, but I have to find some time to look at an application I am working with. The prospect was a bit time consuming, which is why I didn't respond right away.
Will try to get back to you later today.
