I would default the parameter to a "*" which is the unlimited character
wildcard symbol for Crystal.
In your Record Selection criteria indicate where Support Organization LIKE
{TheParameter}.
As directions for your user instruct them to remove that "*" symbol and select
the Support Organization to then search on that Support Organization.
So whether the search that is run is Support Organization LIKE "*" (which will
mean all Support Orgs) or if the search that is run is Support Organization
LIKE "Something" then it should return the results needed.

Subject: Crystal Reports Question
**
Hi All
I am trying to write a Crystal Report and I want to be able to have a parameter
which can either be set to a value or All, any idea on how to achieve this?
For example
Support Company
the user will select a support company based on the choices ( this bit is fine)
Support Organization
I want the user to have the flexibility to either select a Support Organization
from the drop down list or be able to report on ALL Support Organizations
belonging to the Support Company they selected.
thanks
shafqat
