Display of Parameters

Hi,
I need to develop 2 reports using Crystal Reports 11. Both the reports are very similar except that one accepts 2 parameters & the other accepts only one parameter & hence their selection criteria would differ accordingly. I was wanting to know if I could merge both the reports into one, such that I use a third parameter which is boolean & asks which kind of report the user wants to see. Based on the boolean value the report needs to display either 1 parameter or both the parameters. Is this possible in crystal reports ? If not, what is the other best way I could do this ? Please suggest.Hi
Yes ur approch is right, u can do that. Make a single report and accept 3 parameters. based on parameter 1 filter ur report data in a if else condition in record selection formula.|||u can create any report based on different parameters at runtime. of course that means u have to code it in a more generic way... I have done this, bt its in vc++. I suggest u look into the sample code if u want it in vb...its not that hard...
ps: sample code is in ur crytl installed folder.|||Thanks for the responses. If i try using a 3rd parameter method, I have a problem. That is, I can filter the records perfectly fine, however when the parameter window shows up it shows all the parameters in it, the one's that the first report would use & the ones that the second report would also use. I dont want that. Based on the value of the boolean parameter, it should show the corresponding parameters for the first report & accordingly for the second. how do i achieve this ? I'm using only crystal reports....|||Thanks for the responses. If i try using a 3rd parameter method, I have a problem.

Hi
If u r not using any front end then u can use two seperate sub reports (on demand sub report) in main report. so number of reports are increased now.
