CR v10.0

When I create a parameter on a part number field in my report the drop down list only shows the first 100+ part numbers to choose from when there are probably over 1000.

Can I change it somewhere?

I have read that for dynamic parameters I can do a registry entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV and then add the following String Value: MaxRowsetRecords and give it a value.

I have done that at the server level and at my PC restarted Crystal but have had no success. Does this work for static parameters as well?

I have no experience doing dynamic ones and I am not even sure CR 10.0 offers that option.

Thanks

I think that 10 can...
And while I understand the appeal of listing all the part numbers in one drop down...what a pain that will be for the user.

Rather is there a way to break up the part numbers that will make it easier on the user and not violate the 1000 entries. I am sure that the part numbers are encoded in some way (at least that is what I would do) so that they can be divided up.

The only caveat is that record selection formula would be a bit more complex to account for more parameters, but it should be doable
