I have noticed this problem before but I was fixing it non-professionaly as i think.
I am using views to build my Reports.
Sometimes few Reports will use same view so i do not apply filters to views, I am trying to apply filters in RecordSelection section.
What I have noticed sometimes those filters will be ignored by Crystal.
Like now i have
{t.CUSTOMER_ID}={?ID_NO} OR
{t.CUSTOMER_ID}={?Cus_NO}and
{t.SUB_ID} = 0 and
{t.DCODE}='CON' and
{t.SUBCODE}='MAINT'
so last 3 lines will be ignored...
When I have Report with ONLY those 3 lines it works fine.

Can you see why? I can't.
Thanks so much

The issue is that you are not setting off your "or" statement with parentheses. Try:

(
{t.CUSTOMER_ID}={?ID_NO} OR
{t.CUSTOMER_ID}={?Cus_NO}
) and
{t.SUB_ID} = 0 and
{t.DCODE}='CON' and
{t.SUBCODE}='MAINT'

Even I am not sure this is what you intend. The above is correct if you want or the other ID AND all three following clauses to be true.

-LB
 
You are perfectly correct!
I am often using first 2 lines in formula that set to True...
Thanks so much
