Crystal Parameter set up

[IanMWheeler]

Hi There

I am using a cut down version of crystal provide by syspro.
I wish to set up some parameter to act as a to from parameter, based on the data of my report.

In other words I want to select customer names from a drop down list to limit the return of report

How is this done?

Any help would be great

In your data explorer you should see parameters, right click and select new, follow the dialog it is fairly self explantory.

YOu can then use this in select expert

customernamefield = @?yourparam

Dynamic Params were introduced in XI.

YOu can add a list of customer names, click add default values. In top half find your customer table (must be in report) and the select field you can then add all names.

However, it will not be updated automatically. YOu need to update lit manually from time to time, which will be a pain since its a customer list.
