Author Crystal Reports and Parameters

Hi:

I'm trying to design a report in Crystal reports to select records within a
specific date range...but that date range will change (or can change) each
time the report is run. I want to use a parameter for a high and low
date...so that the program will prompt for the dates whenever the report is
run...but when I restart the report...it does not prompt for anything...it
accepts whatever my last entry was.

I can personally use the report "as is" but others having access to it
cannot...

How do I get the program to prompt me for the date range I want?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

JP

If you are running the report from Crystal Report designer, then try turning
off "Save Data with Report"

On your field explorer just create a parameter field. It will then prompt
you for the values each time it runs
