| 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
