I'm having a problem with a parameter in Crystal 8.5. I put in 5 values for the user to select, one of which is ALL. ALL is the first value in the list. Even when the user selects one of the other values, the parameter value is ALL. I print the parameter value on the report and that is what is printing no matter which of the other values is selected. What is wrong here and how can I fix it? I set them as discrete String values and I do not allow them to be edited. I changed the order of the values and I've tested it several times and no matter which value is selected it defaults to the first value in the list. HELP!
 
Make sure the parameter isn't set up to Allow Multiple Values. If it is, the parameter doesn't get populated with anything other than the first default value unless the Add button is clicked, even if you change the value in the dropdown.

Yes, that did it, thanks. I don't do these often enough to remember that. Thanks for your help!
