Dynamic parameter crashes Crystal Reports

[oticonaus]

This is strange.

I have Crystal Reports XI R2 SP3.

I have written a simple report with a crosstab which runs fine (from Crystal) using 'hard coded' static filters.

I then add a dynamic parameter (type DateTime).

When I run the report, I select the value(s) - as soon as I press OK, I see the report flash up, and then Crystal closes - no error - it just closes.

If I remove the dynamic parameter, it again runs fine.

The data source is a single MS SQL database.

I have also discovered that I can make Crystal close without error but changing the parameter to Static, and then adding all values (there are only 4).

I had a similar problem and the issue for me seemed to be a RAM issue with my laptop. Can you run the report with dynamic parameter off another machine with more memory or off the server (if you're using one)?
