Hi
Is there any way to update append data of parameter field automatically or at runtime.

I am going to deliver a project. but the problem is we can only update date append data in design mode. whereas i want automatic updatation of append data as the new account created in table.

please guide me how can we do this.
thanks

I am not sure what you are after.

Are you asking if you can get CR to change the data on the database? If so, the answer would be no....

But...

If you are using a stored procedure to drive your report, you can do whatever you want. So from inside the stored proc, you can update/delete/insert records into your database.

Depending on what you are doing...if it is just a record of what was run by whom, etc, I don't have any issues.

I like that if I run a report today, in 3 months I can run the same report with the same parameters and get the same report...which is less likely if you are modifying data with your report run...but it's up to you.

HTH
