I have a report that Works fine until i add a conditional layout

My first Parameter on my prompt page is Project Number...(it is a search and select prompt)
Usually when i put in 12700020 it retrieves that number and i can run the report...

my last parameter is Subtotals Page.I am using a conditional Layout for it...
the Selection Options are
Yes or No
If YES is selected i will print pages 2 and 3.
if NO is selected i will print only page 1.

This is how i want it to work...
My pblm here is that once i add the conditional layout...
My ProjectNumber prompt is not working...
when i put in 12700020... it cannot find it and retrieves a whole list of project Numbers without this one....
I do not know why it is happening or what to do abt it...

Thanks

Preeti,
I don't know if this will help you at all, but I saw the reply to your issue on another forum and would like to let you know that the "known issue" with conditional layouts is not known to me; I have several complex reports with prompts, filters, and 2-4 prompt-based conditional layouts and they work fine.
When I was first experimenting with conditional layouts I did have issues with prompt pages in multiple layouts, so I maintain the prompt page or pages in the default layout only. I have not used search and select prompts so perhaps the issue lies there.
good luck,
Steve
 
Thanks Steve,
I finally got it working :)
For some reason having a default value for the parameter used for the conditional Layout was giving me issues...

Thanks
Preeti
