     Posted: 31 Jan 2011 at 9:37am
Greetings,
 
 
1. I would like to know how to default a couple of report prompts:
    a. user or windows login id.
    b. current date.
 
Is it possible to get system/network info for prompt defaults?  Is it possible to use functions for defaulting prompts?  Is it possible to use Special Fields data as a default?
 
 
2. I would like to email the output.  When I select destination Exchange Folder I get a message "no profiles have been created.  To create a new profile use mail icon in the control panel".  There are profiles.  Does it need a specific profile?
 
 
Running CR Developer; product type Full, v 11.5.12.1838
Windows 7
 
Thanks,
RB

you can probably get the current date, but the user, not a chance...at least none that I know of.

Thanks, but how can I get the current date?  If that is all I can get, that would be a good thing!
 
In the Edit Parameter dialog box,  the only source of data options I have are from the data base files.  There is an option to import a text file.  What is this importing?  I can not find any reference to that in the online help.
 
Thanks,
RB

use a command object, and select the current there is what I was thinking.  Off-hand, I don't know how to get that value into the parameter itself...it's been a while.
 
I may not be the best person to ask as my company uses wizards which allow me to populate the parameters that the user interacts with in any way I want.  We then get the data from the database and pass the resulting dataset to Crystal.  In short, I don't use parameters
