It does not work. The parameter does not get passed to the report. The report has the parameter P_PARAM1. Whenever it's run from reports runtime, it presents the parameter form that I fill, which works fine. Is there anything I should modify in the report?

The parameter from forms does not get passed to the parameter in the reports.

Can anybody give a simplistic example of how to connect forms with reports, e.g., I issued query in the forms, then I can view the results of the query in the forms -- how do I print a report that contains these results in the format I have designed using the report designer.

Again, for simplicity, let's say there is only one table, and one and the same column is being retrieved in both forms and reports. In the forms I am able to query on that column and view the result of this query. Now, what do I do to print them using the predefined report?

Thank you.
