How do you pass a view parameter to a report, with out using a form in the dtaaenvirnment beforeopentables method?

I've got a form where I want to have a button on it that prints a one page report for the currently selected record in the initialselectedalias of the primary bizobj. I dropped a copy of the (subclassed) creportsobj on my form, and set up a view and data environment for this report. I know what I want to specify for the view parameter, so don't want to call up a form to make the user re-select what they've already selected on the existing form. I added a report variable to the report that is my view parameter. How do I set this so that it is there when the requery happens? Thisform is not accessible in BeforeOpenTables. Should I use _screen.activeform?

Thanks,

June
