Parameter Field default values 1

[jmskarp]

Hello All,

I am using crystal reports v9 and an oracle 9i db.

I am trying to figure out the default values that I have assigned to a parameter....

I have a parameter {p_customername}. I populate the default values from the customer table using the customer name (customer.name) field.

If a new customer name is added to the table I do not see the customer name in the drop down until I edit the parameter and add the new customer name to the dropdown.

My question is this....Is there a more efficient way of keeping a parameter drop down updated to include all of the current values available within the table.field that it references?

Thanks in advance.
