HELP! Simple Range Parameter without attached field

[wanamingo]

Im making a very basic report to simplify our labeling process. I need to be able to pass a range parameter without a linked field. For example if the user wanted to print 10 serial labels with 10 ascending consecutive numbers he could enter a range of:

1220225 - 1220235 and it would produce 10 labels. It seems that Crystal doesnt like it when I use a range param in this way. It either returns the first value and drops the others or all the fields are blank.

Any suggestions? Sorry if that wasnt clear, I would be more than happy to clarify. I sincerely need your help. Im using crystal 11.

Crystal needs two fields to recognise a range. Is that it?

If your parameter is defined as 'allow a range of values' than it should work by using the parameter in the selection criteria.
You do have those numbers in a record field, right?

Thanks for the responses but unfortunately i am still having problems.

Crystal does not like range parameters without a field being attached. If you enter a range param without a field it just drops it from the report entirely (Nothing is displayed for that param).

Try and make a new blank report and create a range parameter and drop it in. Nothing will populate.

Did you try the proposed solution in your crosspost?

No im still getting issues. The prior post in the other section is a bit over my head and I am still actively working on it.
