How to: Dynamic dropdown parameter lists with SQL

[setmea3]

(Using a SQL Server data source)

When the user goes to run a parameterized report, I want the dropdown list to be pre-populated with data (in this case movie names). The problem is that this data is constantly changing.

Can Crystal Reports go out and refresh the dropdown list in the background? If so, how?

Unfortunately, no version of crystal reports suports this functionality.

This can be done using developer tools such as VB and the Crystal Report Designer Component. See thread 149-268687 for details. Software Training and Support for Macola, Crystal Reports and Goldmine

dgillz,

Thanks for the info. One lame newbie question though (and I swear I tried looking before asking, FAQ's too):

How do I locate and open thread 149-268687?

Thanks,
Glenn
