Hello Community

In a C# and ASP.NET app I embed a Crystal Report. In the Crystal Report I
create a parameter field named id. Then I read one id from a table and I
pass the id from the table to Crystal Report where Crystal Report creates
the report successfully.

The problem is that now I am reading atleast 5 id's each containing a
different value from the table and I want Crystal Report to create a report
for each one of the id's such that the user can use the carat and scroll
thru all of the reports from the first one to the last.

Crystal Reports creates reports like that by default if it reads the whole
table without passing a parameter but the question is how can I get Crystal
Report to create the reports like that when I pass 5 id's each containing a
different value (if its possible)?


Thanks
Jeff

With Crystal, my preferred method is to read data into a datatable and
substitute this for the crystal report's datasource at run time.
That way I can do whatever I like with the data without having to worry
about the various foibles of crystal.
So I'd have some way of selecting my data into that datatable that allowed 1
or more id and hand that to crystal.
