Symptom
When using http://<machine
name>/crystalreportviewers115/viewrpt.asp with parameters passed
in the URL, values that have hyphens (-) are not recognized and the
following error message appears:
"The syntax of the value for prompt <parameter name> is incorrect".
Cause
Parameters that have special characters should be put
inside double quotes (" " ) or (%22).
Resolution
Modify the URL. Instead of:
http://machine name/crystalreportviewers115/viewrpt.asp?id=748&apsuser=administrator&apspassword=&promptex-MyParameter=Phil-Am
URL should be like so:
http://machine name/crystalreportviewers115/viewrpt.asp?id=748&apsuser=administrator&apspassword=&promptex-MyParameter="Phil-Am"
OR
http://machine name/crystalreportviewers115/viewrpt.asp?id=748&apsuser=administrator&apspassword=&promptex-MyParameter=%22Phil-Am%22
