Im not the greatest crystal designer so bare with me.

Im making a very simple report that doesn't require a database. It is a manual serial printout for a label machine. So we could printout a label with "12345" as the serial. That I can manage lol.

But whenever I try to setup a parameter with a range like "12345,12350", so I would drop 5 values without having to have the user write all of them the parameter is blank on the label and I only have one page.

Can anyone offer any insite into this? Or how I could achieve something similar with just counting?

since you have no DB source, the report only has one detail section printing.
you can either point this to a source that has a lot of  rows and use that in your select statement
or maybe create a lot of detail sections and conditionally show or hide each one based on the value of 12350-12345 and create a formula field for each detaill section.
This would be more tedious as you will need to have one detail section per total range that want a user to enter

just use a spreadsheet as your source
make it one column with an auto-incrementing value starting at the lowest value a user can enter
