Parameter Description Field?

[jotek]

Is there a way to access the parameter description field. I want to use it like a code table. But I want the user to see the value and I want to use the description field.

Nope, annoying isn't it... I had the same hopes a while back.

There may be a way through an API, but not from within Crystal.

Jotek and Synapsevampire,

I a using the following formula to access what I would find in the description. Fortunately for me the description is a field in the db:

WhilePrintingRecords;
StringVar sCourse1Title;

If {TPT_EXT_COURSES.COURSE_NO} = {?Course}[1] then
sCourse1Title:= {TPT_EXT_COURSES.TITLE}
