dynamic parameter

[bluerain25]

hi,

is there anyone out there who could help me with dynamic parameters? im using crystal report 10 and i cant seem to repopulates the values. we are using different databses(with the same tables and queries but different data) if i add default values, the same info is diplayed in the drop down box even if i use a different db. if i dont add the default values, the prompt displays nothing. i added the field in the query already. the parameter should ask the user to choose between the list of userid from the users table.

What you could do is put the reports accessing different databases as subreports in a 'frame' report that has the parameters and passes them down as subreport links.

Upgrade to Crystal XI or 2008 and dynamic parameters are built in.

"What version of URGENT!!! are you using?

If you can't get the latest Crystal, try Edit > Subreport Links, this lets you link main-report parameters into a subreport.

i tried that before and it works fine if i open it wth crystal but when i added the report in the program where we run all the reports (created in vb6) the combo box is gone. did i miss something? the program is developed by a programming firm and we ont know if the dlls added is for version 9 only.. reports made in a version higher that 10 does not work.
