Web Client 7.5.1 - How to pass in the currently logged in userid to a crystal report?

[dougeven]

I have a report that I want to run for the currently logged in user with no prompting for parameters.

I tried adding the xml filter shown below in the Filter Conditions box of the Crystal Report Properties in Architect (under the Execution tab), but the report does not seem to even attempt to incorporate this filter in the report query based on what slx profiler tells me.

<SLXReportConditions>
   <MainTable>HISTORY</MainTable>
   <Connector>ALL</Connector>
    <SLXCondition>
<ConditionType>Query</ConditionType>
<Table>History</Table>
<Field>USERID</Field>
<Operator>=</Operator>
<Value>:UserID</Value>
<FromRange></FromRange>
<ToRange></ToRange>
<DataType>String</DataType>
<Tag></Tag>
</SLXCondition>
</SLXReportConditions>

Basically I am adding the same xml that is generated for a condition if you click the Show XML button in the report edit conditions panel.

Should this work? Am I missing something? Is there a different/better approach that will work?

Thanks,
Doug

Does anyone know of a workaround for passing in the currently logged in userid to a crystal report?

Can anyone tell me if this problem was resolved? I amnot getting an error, but the system does not seem to be looking at the filter conditionsat all.

Thanks,

Currently still showing as an Open Defect due for resolution in the Future.

There is no workaround listed at this time.

This does not seem to be fixed in Web v8. "Current Activities - Sample" does not work in v8.
