Table as Parmeter

[klewis10367]

I use a parameter that uses Properties. However we are adding properties all of the time and I have to manually add them to the parameter drop down list. Is there any way to have the drop down list update when the new property is added? I am using version 8.0. I am not using sql or vb to create this report, it is just basic crystal report writing.

Sorry to say, nope.

There are rumors that this will be included in the next release of crystal.

Thanks, now I don't feel so stupid.

Yes, Crystal 11 is expected to have dynamic and even cascading parameters.

If you need an earlier solution, have a look at a list of 3rd-party solutions at:

There are two 3rd-party tools (that I'm aware of) that provide Crystal with Dynamic parameter functionality.

One is ChelseaTech CViewPick:

The other is my DataLink Viewer:
