   Topic: No Lock for Crystal Report XI
Posted: 13 Aug 2012 at 10:24am |
Is it possible to prevent Locking on an SQL database when executing a Crystal Report and not using a "Command" as a source? Also, can a Parameter be set in a command that will allow for multiple entries?

I don't think there's any way to prevent locking when not using a command. Yes, you can use a multi-select parameter in a command. Then syntax looks something like this: myTable.MyField in {?MyMultiParam} -Dell

Since you can only do a Select (no updates, adds). Locking should not be an issue.

If this is a command, you have to create the parameter IN THE COMMAND EDITOR - it will not work if you create it in the report! The syntax would then look like this: Where ABC.Client in {?MultiParam} -Dell

Have tried changing the "=" to "in" and the Pop up comes up asking for a Client ID - entered Client ID - but when clicked OK I get a syntax error "Incorrect syntax near the entered Client ID". MY objective is to get the same option if I am not using a COMMAND that allows me to enter multiple Client ID's or one ClientID
