I was recently caught up with this Error “Operation illegal on linked parameter” when working with the Crystal Reports and solution seems to be pretty simple too .
When you run a Crystal Report which inturn contains the SubReports , the Crystal Report issues the following error:
Operation illegal on linked parameter
The Error Message is preceded by the ReportName that is processed.
The error Message occurs when a parameter field in a subreport is used to link the subreport to the main report called as “linked parameter” .
When a linked parameter is present , its value is filled automatically at run-time from the parent report’s value.
When the Values are explicitly passed by the program / Application, the Error Message Appears ..
To solve the issue , do not specify the values for the linked parameter as these values are not meant to be set directly ….
