Drew,

At the Blackbaud Conference, you talked about being about to choose the parameter criteria at runtime. I have set up a report to run based on a parameter field, but when I run the report from RE, I do not get a prompt asking for the criteria. It runs based on the last time I ran the report out of RE.

Can you tell me how to get Crystal to ask me for the criteria at runtime (when I run the report out of RE)?

Thanks!

Virginia,

Is your report set to "Save Data with Report"? If so, it won't get
updated. The other possibility is that the parameter is not being used
somewhere in the report, so it's not prompting you for the parameter.

Drew,

The report is set to Save Data With Report, and I'm using the fields in the Select Expert. Here is my report criteria:

{CnAct_1AttrCat_1.CnAct_1AttrCat_1_Description} = {?Affiliate Name} and
{CnAct_1.CnAct_1_Action_Date} = {?Date Range} and
{CnAct_1.CnAct_1_Completed}

I also have the {?Affiliate Name} field in the title of the report, and the {?Date Range} is being used in a formula field so that it shows the date range in the title of the report. The formula is working right.

What am I missing?

Oh, wait. I just re-read your answer. So I unchecked the Save Data with Report. It works now! Thank you!!!
