Editable LOV values

[Former Member]

I am using a LOV value(dynamic parameter)..can I make it editable to type in my own values.

I am using Crystal Reports(2008 ver 12), because somebody in an earlier post suggested something but I couldnt find it in my version.

Raghavendra.G is correct.

Why would you want to enter your own values if the list you are getting is 'dynamic'?

Seems like a recipe for disaster!

Its just that I need to enter a few LOVs based on one particular zip code and then a few more values which the user can type in...

I am using dynamic LOVs since, those values related to those zip codes should always be there in the drop down..so anything that is loaded into the database corresponding to these zip codes should come in for selection...plus some addtional that can be typed.

you cannot enter custom values for a dynamic parameter in crystal. Try to use static parameter by importing all the database values and choose allow custom values option in the parameter options.

Oh but static parameters dont load from the database right...what if i have new rows added in the db, it wouldnt show up in the LOV right.
