CR9 "Prompt For New Values" does not clear the parameters.

[jlbsloan]

In CR9 I preview a report giving values to the parameters. After the first preview, refresh the report using "Prompt for new values" and only enter values for some of the parameters. On the preview, the parameters that I did not enter new values for still have the values from the first preview. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
What is the question? If not changed, why would they not be the same?

The question is why does cr9 behave this way when none of the previous versions did? "Prompt user for NEW values" should not keep old data!

check out this Knowledge base article.....

sounds like it used to NOT retain the previous parameter values when re-prompting and this was apparently a "problem" that was "fixed" with a Monthly Hot Fix patch.

so perhaps that article will at least give you some type of explanation as to this "feature".
