password protect crystal reports 8.5 1

[jchewsmith]

Is there a way in Crystal 8.5 to set a password upon opening the report?

Thanks

Only by using a parameter

But anyone with design rights will be able to see password setting

In Select expert

{?yourparamter} = "whatever password you want" and
rest of your select statement....

Report will not bring back any records unless the correct password is entered. However, it will still query data and bring back all data but not display.
