report with dynamic parameters inside the report

[retygh45]

Just a question. I was at a Business Objects "breakfast" yesterday hosted by one of their partners, and the demonstration said it was with XI R2, and this report they were showing had combo boxes at the top and they were changing the report on the fly, just by changing the parameters in the report.

I thought this was pretty cool, but don't know what I need to be able to do this. I looked at CRXI R2 and it says you only need R2 for a few instances, so I don't know if I need Enterprise Server XI R2 on the back end (which I don't have) to be able to do this?

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

This is not standard behavior in Crystal XI R2. Perhaps they were showing a newer version (Crystal 2008?).

It was definitely XI R2 (it said it at the bottom of the screen), but I think it was Crystal Reports hitting Crystal Enterprise server XI, which allowed them to do that.

Which I thought was a really cool feature, unfortunately I do not have Crystal Enterprise server.
