The ) is missing - error when using custom button with the Launch command to call ROI in Dynamics 2011.

I get an error message in a Crystal Report Windows Forms Viewer window saying... The ) is missing... when using a custom button with the Launch command to call ROI in Dynamics 2011. I have gone to the "books" and followed the examples given but have no success. This command used to work in Dynamics SL 7 before upgrading to Dynamics 2011. Can someone give me a tip on what is wrong?

Below is the code behind my custom button...

 

Sub cmdReport_Click()

    Dim CustId As String * 10

    Dim ParmStr$

 

    CustId = GetObjectValue("ccustid")

    ParmStr = "ROI.EXE " + PRMSEP + "08652/RUN" + PRMSEP + "08652/FORMAT" + PRMSEP + "ARTran.Custid = " + SParm(CustId) + "/WHERE" + PRMSEP + "/PSCRN"

    serr2 = Launch(ParmStr, True, True, 0)

    'Call ApplSetParmValue(PRMSECTION_VBRDT, "", "08652/RUN")

    'Call ApplSetParmValue(PRMSECTION_VBRDT, "", "08652/FORMAT")

    'Call ApplSetParmValue(PRMSECTION_VBRDT, "", "ARTran.Custid = " + SParm(CustId) + "/WHERE")

    'Call ApplSetParmValue(PRMSECTION_VBRDT, "", "/PSCRN")

    'serr2 = Launch("ROI.EXE ", True, True, 0)

 

End Sub

    Thank you very much, Barry!! Your answer worked for us!

    Just in case someone needs to see the working code, I pasted the two examples below...

     

     

     

     

    Sub cmdReport_Click()

        Dim CustId As String * 10

        Dim ParmStr$

     

        CustId = GetObjectValue("ccustid")

        'ParmStr = "ROI.EXE " + PRMSEP + "08652/RUN" + PRMSEP + "08652/FORMAT" + PRMSEP + "{ARTran.Custid} = " + SParm(CustId) + "/WHERE" + PRMSEP + "/PSCRN"

        'serr2 = Launch(ParmStr, True, True, 0)

        Call ApplSetParmValue(PRMSECTION_VBRDT, "", "08652/RUN")

        Call ApplSetParmValue(PRMSECTION_VBRDT, "", "08652/FORMAT")

        Call ApplSetParmValue(PRMSECTION_VBRDT, "", "{ARTran.Custid} = " + SParm(CustId) + "/WHERE")

        Call ApplSetParmValue(PRMSECTION_VBRDT, "", "/PSCRN")

        serr2 = Launch("ROI.EXE ", True, True, 0)

     

    End Sub

    In SL2011, it is necessaey to enclose the TableName.ColumnName in curly braces
