I have a report we can run stand alone or can be run via drill down. I have the Auto Execute set to True so when drill down passes parameters it will auto execute report results. The complaint Im getting from users is when they open the report by itself (no drill down) there is a red box in the html page around the missing parameter. This is obviously because it is set to auto execute for the drill down option. My question is there anything I can do to tell report html to autoExecute = True when drill down opens and autoExecute = False when opened as stand alone report?

Have you tried to set the "Selection required" option to "No" or "Not Set" and see what is happening ?

Normally the red box it's because no option is provided by the user when this option is set to "Yes" on a control: it's an auto-validate.

If I set to "No" or "Not Set", then it will not auto execute when I drill down into the report. As I said, this report can be run 2 ways, drilled into from another report that passes the value and auto execute, or open this report manually and enter a value then click run.

Above, as far as I know, it's not related with the "Selection required" option.

The "Selection required" option is only supposed, still as far as I know, perform a pre-validation to insure that a value as been selected/entered.

Look at the drill down report by adding
-? &
-EXIT

as the first two lines of the fex to see if parameters have received correctly their value from the parent drilling report.

If so, look further why the report doesn't produce any result, it may be something else.
You can add
SET XRETRIEVAL = OFF

just to validate that your code has the received parameters properly assigned.

Then without the above SET (remove it), instead of producing the report with all its styling, just process data extraction that you will HOLD, see the result and check the number of extracted rows, if there some...

when we drill down to a report, we drill to the htm, not the fex. so the htm gets the value in the parameter and runs the preview frame when drilled into.
