    Posted: 07 Mar 2012 at 7:30am
I am creating a report where the user has 2 parameters to enter a range for Sales Rep.    1002 to 4500.  
I print the user selection in the header as
Sales Rep 1002 - 4500.  
 
A request has been made to instead of showing the sales rep number to instead display the name.  So they would want to see:
Sales Rep:  John Smith - Mike Johnston, where 1002 = John Smith and 4500 = Mike Johnson when selecting 1002 - 4500.
 
How can I display the names in the header?  The name does not exist in the one table I am using so I don't know how to use the parameter to link to the sales rep table to get the name.
 
Is this possible?
 
Thanks

you could use a subreport for each name...the subreport can link to the other table as needed.
