Is there a way to remove the drop down menu limit in the parameter field for a report?
 
Thanks,

You need to set a registry entry.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV

If you are using R2, then change 11.0 to 11.5.

Add a string called MaxRowsetRecords and set a new maximium number of records. Making it 0 gives you unlimited records.

I cover how to do this and give you many other tips and tricks for working with parameters in Chapter 4 of my book http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0974953601/bischofsystem-20 - Crystal Reports Encyclopedia .

Hi Brian,
 
Our sysadmin looked at the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\
 
and there wasn't a DatabaseOptions folder.  Confused
 
What can I do from here?
 
Thanks
