Hi everyone
 
In window Field Explorer-> Parameter Fields->nameField->Edit->"Edit a parameter and list of values " of Crystal report,  I want a drop down menu with all of the values of  my table for my parameter for users to choose.  In option "Action", I choosed "Append all database value". There it works, It add all value from table of database.
 
But when run the programme and I add a new value on my table, througth cms,  It doesn't  add this new value on my drop down menu of crystal report
 
I tried to do it by programmtically from c# with ParameterField

and with plurals parameter discrete ParameterDiscreteValue

but it doesn'nt work , nothing is dysplayed. Can anybody help me ?

You need to create a dynamic parameter that will read the data from the database.
 
In the parameter editor - at the top right of the screen there is a drop-down that will let you change the type of the parameter from static to dynamic.  You then just have to point it to the correct field in your report to get the list you're looking for.
 
There are other ways to do this, but this is the easiest.
