We upgraded from VS2003 to VS2008 recently. We have a number of Crystal Reports accessed through the web pages in .NET. Many of these reports have input parameters that are chosen from drop-down lists, such as store, department, etc. The reports previously worked just fine, but when we moved to VS2008, the prompt now gives a blank textbox and asks the user to input the necessary information. Once the parameter is entered, the report work as it should. - - however, if I open the report directly in CrystalReportsXI (which we have in addition to VS2008), the parameter is a drop-down list as it should be.
Another clue is that the version that is shown in VS2008 code is 10.xx.x.x
How and why did the drop-down lists disappear and how can I change them back to being drop-down lists?
Thanks for any and all help!
