I just took over responsibility for a few Crystal Reports written in CR 8.5...I've never dealth with Crystal before at all.

 

So now my question.  I have a formula field that is called "Name" and consists of Last,First Name.  Now, the users want to be able to have a parameter with a list of default values accordingly.  I can do the select easy enough, but when it comes to the default values, you can only select existing fields in the existing tables...since this is a formulated field, there is no database field to correspond.  I dont' have access to the DB (unfortunately).

 

Is there any way to do this, or are we stuch having to type the name in free-text style?

 

Thanks.

 

However, now, I get the list, but there only about 1/4 of the total results showing in the parameter list (500) compared to the view (2000).  I know there are a bunch threads about changing a registry value for CR XI and that, but this is 8.5...does it have such a tweak?

 

Are there any other options to allow me to grab all the values rather than just 500 or so?

 

Thanks,
