Schedule a pick list for use in a report...............

[marydn]

Can anyone tell me how I can schedule a picklist to be used in a report? I have version 8.5 as well as enterprise. My ultimate goal is to be able to run a job on ther server to update the values in the pick list and then use this pick list parameter in my report. That way it will be as close to dynamic as Crystal will permit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you're trying to do this within CE, there is a solution in that you can use ADO within a CSP page to demonstrate and select the parms, then pass the values to the report.

If you want to do this from within CR alone, you'll need some third party solution, by buying or writing code.

And I think that there are others.

Thanks for the input. My manager looked at that software and he says it would have to be installed on each users machine.....and we have lot of users.
