Please help with CR Parameter Fields

[jsgoober]

Hi all,

I am new with Crystal Reports and REALLY don't know how
to create a simple report with just one Parameter field.

I mean how do I go about adding/making the Parameter
field work with my report? Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks much in advance.

Jay

step 1 - Insert, field object, parameter field. Name it and drag it onto your report somewhere.

The 2nd step is to tie that parameter field into your record selection formula so the user on see the records he/she asked for. Under Report, edit selection formula, record, (or group if you are selecting certain groups) enter a formula of {fieldname}={?Parmfield} or something very similar to select on those records.

Let me know if you have any questions.
