Topic: Report Parameters Posted: 13 Jun 2011 at 9:02am
I am looking for a way to conditionally prompt for a parameter or input from the user based on values existing in the report dataset. For example, if the value of {ShipHead.ShipVia} = '*Third Party*', I want the report user to select a carrier from a dropdown list. However, if {ShipHead.ShipVia} <> '*ThirdParty*', I don't want the user prompted to make any selection.

I believe this would be possible only if you create your own report viewer application.
If the parameter doesn't participate in record selection, then one of the 3rd-party User Function Libraries listed at http://kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html can prompt the user to provide a value and the dialog can be driven based on information in the report.
