Parameters no longer optional in Crystal Enterprise?

[PleaseGiveHelp]

We just upgraded to Crystal Enterprise (previously were using Crystal 7 with the web component). It seems that all of the parameters that were once optional are no longer optional. If you do not supply a parameter the report bombs out. Is this a Crystal Enterprise thing? Can I create optional parameters?

Those are 2 different products, so try not to compare functionality.

IN CE, you can select whether to prompt for a parameter, but you're record selection criteria should allow for a default value, such as "ALL"

An example is:

(
if {?promptName} <> &quot;ALL&quot; then
{table.field} = {?promptName}
else if {?promptName} = &quot;ALL&quot; then
true
)

This also helps to ensure SQL pass through.
