In Crystal Reports 2008.
Is there a way to customize a parameter field? (i.e. : apply a filter to the data).
I want the user to be able to select multiple entries for a parameter but there are over 1000 entries in the database and I don't need to display all of them. I'd like to apply a filter to lower the number of entries the user has to choose from.
Thanks!

you could use dynamic parameters

That's what I did, gave a name to my parameter and selected the corresponding field as a value. The problem is I don't want all the values from that field to be displayed so I need a way to filter the data.

you can use a filtered view or stored proc as the source for the dynamic data

Alright, I get it now. Thought there would be a way to do it without having to edit the database.
Thanks !
