Parameter Picklist dynamically refreshed from database

[Guest_imported]

Anyone know a way to get crystal to dynamically read the database and populate a picklist of parameter values for the user at run time?

What I've found so far....

At design time you can populate a 'static' list of values (with descriptions if you like) . Crystal will help you populate this list at design time by reading the database or importing values from a text file. But..... I'm looking for a way to get it to refresh the list at run time.

Thanks!

Ken,

You can only get dynamic values for the list if you create your own front end screen in VB or some other application. Then you populate your own list from the data and pass the value to the report.

Within Crystal you can only get a static list.
