Hi All, Can we treat that parameter file as datasource and use a data connection to call that datasource in our current to report. for eample - there is a data souce params which have the paramters in a xls or csv file. Our report "samplereport.jrxml" have to use that data adpater to use above mentioned data source to use all the listed parameters in current report. Say params.xls file having list of ids, start date, end date etc. can we access these parameters as params.record1 or params.recordx to use them in current report. If yes. How? Regards Amit
