Whether you continue to use Crystal or not is entirely up to you. For my
purposes, its worked well enough, although I've admit to some frustrations
with the product. In this particular case, I think the solution is very
easy. I'm guessing you have a report where multiple values were passed
via a parameter. Let's say the report was filtered on the Assigned Group,
and you'd like to show all the groups that were selected by the user in
the report footer. Merely create a formula field and use something like:
Join ( {?Assigned Support Group - ASSIGNED_GROUP} , ', ' ) and then
display that formula in a text box (with the can grow option checked)
If I misunderstood what you're trying to do or if you need clarification
on the above let me know.

How can I display User parameters on Crystal Report
**
I would like to know if there is a way to pass parameters (for example the
parameters the user selected on a dialog window) to a Crystal Report and
have them displayed on the Crystal Report called from Remedy.
Having fought the gritty never-ending battle to produce Crystal Reports
that don?t fail when called from Remedy or after migration require
massaging, I am starting to wonder if I would be better off using SQL
Server Reporting Services as a replacement for Crystal Reports technology.
Too long I find myself hanging on to what seems to be counter-productive
?rapid application development? tools.
Realizing I can?t [currently] just pass parameters to a Crystal Report and
have them displayed really paints a good picture for me of how inadequate
it is.
Does anyone have any success stories they?d like to share using Reporting
Services and how difficult to transition to the technology?
I am using SQL Server 2005.
Thank you,
