Run-time error '20553' "Invalid parameter field name"

If you've had an error "Run-time error '20553 'while creating a report using crystal report, may following my experience can help you.

This error appear because parameter fields in the file. RPT, is not equal as the field that you code

Let see the following code in visual basic:

me.cr.parameterfields(1)="_reportname"

me.cr.parameterfields(2)="_period"

The solution is, add a parameter field in the file. rpt in crystal report, as shown below:
