I'm using VB's data report writer for building up my reports.I have few problesms while working with them

1) The refresh data is never displayed in the report .Only when i close the application and again execute the report,the latest changes are visible.In short whatever changes I do through my data entry programme in the application,I cannot see them subsequently through my report.How do I overcome this problem?

2) I cannot pass the form parameters to the Report .What's the way to send them and retrieve in the report?
