	I want to pass a value into a crystal report at run time so that I can do calculations with it. The value is not in the data records that are used in the report. The value will vary each time I run the report, so I cannot hard code it into the report. Regards, Chris64

	can you do it with a parameter? You can use this in your calculations, and enter it every time you run the report.

	Thanks for replying. Does the parameter value need to be a value that is already in the report data? Can I pass the parameter into a variable? Regards, Chris64

	No, a parameter can have any value that you want. If you go to Value Options, you can set Allow custom values to True. You can use this in a formula (I assume that is what you mean? So you can use it in calculations?)
