How do I enter a parameter value that has a string value
Nice product. I have problems entering a parameter value such as 1, 3, 4, 5 but in fact they are strings. My database store these values as strings so I have to use string value in my crystal reports which causing problem in crystal delivery. The reports will run in crystal delivery if I choose to prompt for missing parameters. It won't run if i use the parameter selection box and enter the parament such as 1. How should I enter it? I want to automate the report without entering prompt. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

I think this is in the "help" section - I know I read it somewhere - but if you want a number to be interpreted as a string, just put a ' (single-quote, the unshifted double-quote, to the right of the semi-colon on a US keyboard) in front of the number. For example, instead of 1 enter '1 . It's worked for me. James

James is correct. I will strip off the ' in front and then pass the number as a string value.
