Can someone tell me if this is possible in Crystal 8.....Can I have a parameter - lets say Region - a person selects a region then the next parameter is populated only with the Northern states?

Thanks............
 
You cannot have a parameter populate another parameter, but you can conditionally set your record selection formula based on a parameter as follows:

If {?Region}="Northeast" then {StateField} in ["ME",MA","VT","CN",NY","NH","RI"] else
if {?Reegion}="Southeast" then {StateField} in ["NC","SC","GA","FL","AL"]......

Does this help? Software Training and Support for Macola, Crystal Reports and Goldmine

You have to do your own parameter collection, the Seagate controls can't do this.
 
dgillz - it did help a lot - I have re-thought how to accomplish what I need. THANKS!!!
