Thanks Dell,
We are actually trying to merge two reports right now, one for manager and the other for clerk. The only difference between the two is the number of prompts. Because of crystal's limitation we had to create two of the same report but with different prompt.
My objective is to merge these two and I am finding it impossible to do so in crystal report, mainly for two reasons. We are not able to determine the role of the users from CSC, and we don't know how to control which prompts to show either groups.
So we resorted to Business View and we are having loads of challenges there, namely prompts and formulas... have you faced anything like this to create/generate dynamic crystal reports based on user roles?

I haven't had to do this, and the different sets of parameters is a challenge. You would probably be better off NOT merging the two as there is no way to control which parameters are visible and which aren't unless you're running the report through an application that you've written that handles all of the prompts and then passes them to the report internally rather than showing the Crystal prompt screen.
