I am using a parameter to give the user a choice of how to group the information on the report.
Each parameter allows for the choice of A, B, C, D or E (real names are not used for the safety of the choice-hehe)
Is there anyway to limit the second choice to NOT include the choice they make for the 1st one?

For instance, if the user chooses A for the first grouping, it would be great to not allow A to be chosen for the 2nd grouping
Any ideas???

thanks in advance.
 
I suspect the closest you can get to this is to create a single multi-value parameter. Then, within Crystal, grab the 1st element in the parameter array and use it for 1st level, 2nd element for 2nd-level (and ignore any further values...).

In the prompt, ask the user to select exactly two values.

CUT, Visual CUT, and DataLink Viewer:
view, e-mail, export, burst, distribute, and schedule Crystal Reports.
 
Not using Crystal.

You can code for this by making sure that none of the parameters are the same afterwards, but not during.
