Author prevent parameter prompting for subreport params?

I have a series of reports that use a standard subreport to document
what parameter values were used to run the base report. Not all fields
on the subreport will apply to all reports. I would like to prevent
crystal from prompting for those unrelated parameters when the report
is run.

I'm using Crystal Reports for VS.NET 2005 (CR XI?). To elaborate - my
subreport has fields for Customer, SalesRep, Vendor, etc. Some reports
won't utilize a customer parameter so in this case I'd like the
subreport to display "N/A". The problem is that Crystal prompts the
user for a value for the Customer parameter even though its irrelevant
to the report the user is running.

I read about a "EnableParameterPrompting" setting that is apparently a
boolean value, but that was for v8. I can't seem to find this setting
in this version of Crystal. Does anyone know if this setting still
exists or of any workarounds?

Thanks!
