Parameter in eportfolio

[heidi88]

I need to pass year to my report in eportfolio. The data type for year is numberic e.g 2003.00. In Crystal Report Development, I use description 2003 to prompt the parameter. But, in eportfolio, I can not hide the value (2003.00) and only show description (2003) in Active X prompt window. How to customize the window to only show description not the value?

Thanks a lot

Not sure what you really mean here, but this might better suit you:

Make the parameter a string and in the record selection formula convert it, as in:

{table.field} = val({?MyParm})

Not sure why you can't show the description in the active-x control... Check for hotfixes because I don't recall this as a problem.
