How do I create a Parameter Field From a Formula?

I am new to Crystal Reports 2008.  IN version 8.5, I used to easiuly create a formula, and then a dynamic parameter field based upon that forumla.
In version 2008, thus far, I create a formula field, then I try to create the parameter field, but it won;t give me the optioin of choosing the formula I have created.
Is this a bug or is this a featuer they removed from version 2008?  I am using Crystal Reports 2008 12.3.0.601.
Thanks in Advance!

Sure.
I want to use a Full Name as a Dynamic Parameter.  The DB stores the name in FirstName in one columns, LastName in another.
Formula:
FirstName" "LastName
Then I usually make this the dynamic parameter field, as I am doing with older version of 8.5.
What am I missing?

  • How do i create 2 parameter pages for 1 report?

    Hi,
    I want to make a purchase order report. first: i need a parameter page to ask how many items that you want to order. second, once user enters a number(let's say 5), i want to have anoter parameter page show 5 empty fields that user can enter 5 items' barcode#, once they entered barcodes, the report will show these 5 items info.
    my difficulty is how do i create 2 parameter page for 1 report?
    thank you

    my question
    1- there is any way to assign the Fetch process to specific region so the process take all item in these region only.
    2- how can create manual process to fetch row into specific items in page ( i tray these code
    SELECT col1, col2, col3 ....
    INTO :P1_ITEM1, :P1_ITEM, :P1_ITEM...
    FROM table
    WHERE id = :P_id ) but no data retrieve .
    I do not think that it is possible to have more than one Automated Row Fetch process in a given page. See the thread:
    ORA-01403: no data found : Unable to fetch row multiple automated row fetch
    On your second question, the manual process should work provided:
    P_ID has a value when the process executes. You can do it this way:
    i. Make this process as a on-load After/Before header process
    ii. Make sure that P_ID page item has value when the process executes (set it from another page or before the pl/sql process executes)

    By default, iTunes convert files to type AAC which has an extension of .m4a
    For iTunes to recognize them as Audiobook files, the extension needs to change from .m4a to .m4b
    This can be done a number of different ways. Here are 2 (beginner and advanced)
    . simply, by renaming each file from windows explorer
    . more complex, by using Start/Run/cmd to get a "DOS" type window,

    How do I create a fillable form from an existing document (PDF, Word, etc)?

    In Acrobat 11 you'd select: Tools > Forms > Edit
    to go into form editing mode. You'll see the tools that are available, thought it may prompt you to autodetect the fields. I usually don't do this, preferring to create them myself.

  • How do I creat a filliable form from a scan document?

    How do I create a fillable form from a scan word document using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

    Hi melaniev10032955,
    You might need to follow these steps to convert word into fillable PDF form:
    Open the scanned word document
    Click File> Print> Adobe PDF
    A PDF file would be created that would automatically open in Acrobat XI pro
    At this point, you would have a basic PDF file which still needs to get converted into fillable form
    Choose "Tools> Text Recognition> In this File" to run OCR to make your scanned doc searchable.
    Now, go to "Tools> Forms> Create"
    Acrobat will ask some questions. On the first screen, make sure 'Use an existing file' is selected and then click Next.
    On the next screen, 'Use the current document' must be selected.
    You might need to edit few fields manually. Then, just click Preview button on the top and check how you PDF form appears.
    Try this out and let me know if you face any problem.

  • How can I get the "text" field from the actionEvent.getSource() ?

    I have some sample code:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    public class JFrameTester{
         public static void main( String[] args ) {
              JFrame f = new JFrame("JFrame");
              f.setSize( 500, 500 );
              ArrayList < JButton > buttonsArr = new ArrayList < JButton > ();
              buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "first" ) );
              buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "second" ) );
              buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "third" ) );
              MyListener myListener = new MyListener();
              ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 0 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
              ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 1 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
              ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 2 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
              JPanel panel = new JPanel();
              panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 0 ) );
              panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 1 ) );
              panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 2 ) );
              f.getContentPane().add( BorderLayout.CENTER, panel );
              f.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
              f.setVisible( true );
         public static class MyListener  implements ActionListener{
              public MyListener() {}
              public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
                   System.out.println( "hi!! " + e.getSource() );
                   // I need to know a title of the button (which was clicked)...
    }The output of the code is something like this:
    hi! javax.swing.JButton[,140,5,60x25,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.5,
    border=javax.swing.plaf.BorderUIResource$CompoundBorderUIResource@1ebcda2d,
    flags=296,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,defaultIcon=,disabledIcon=,
    disabledSelectedIcon=,margin=javax.swing.plaf.InsetsUIResource[top=2,left=14,bottom=2,
    right=14],paintBorder=true,paintFocus=true,pressedIcon=,rolloverEnabled=true,
    rolloverIcon=,rolloverSelectedIcon=,selectedIcon=,text=first,defaultCapable=true]
    I need this: "first" (from this part: "text=first" of the output above).
    Does anyone know how can I get the "text" field from the e.getSource() ?

    System.out.println( "hi!! " + ( (JButton) e.getSource() ).getText() );I think the problem is solved..If your need is to know the text of the button, yes.
    In a real-world application, no.
    In a RW application, a typical need is merely to know the "logical role" of the button (i.e., the button that validates the form, regardless of whether its text is "OK" or "Save", "Go",...). Text tends to vary much more than the structure of the UI over time.
    In this case you can get the source's name (+getName()+), which will be the name that you've set to the button at UI construction time. Or you can compare the source for equality with either button ( +if evt.getSource()==okButton) {...}+ ).
    All in all, I think the best solution is: don't use the same ActionListener for more than one action (+i.e.+ don't add the same ActionListener to all your buttons, which leads to a big if-then-else series in your actionPerformed() ).
    Eventually, if you're listening to a single button's actions, whose text change over time (e.g. "pause"/"resume" in a VCR bar), I still think it's a bad idea to rely on the text of the button - instead, this text corresponds to a logical state (resp. playing/paused), it is more maintainable to base your logic on the state - which is more resilient to the evolutions of the UI (e.g. if you happen to use 2 toggle buttons instead of one single play/pause button).

  • How can I create an audio CD from the audio only portion of my iMovie?

    Hello, I brought in about 50 min of Digital video into iMovie, I separated (split) the audio from the video, I unlocked the audio, I deleted the video, and now I want to just create an audio CD from the audio that is left.
    Can I do this? and if yes how? If I can not, how can I create an Audio CD from on my G5 off a tape on my digital camcorder?
    Any help would be apprecaited.

    This is how:
    Go to:
    'File'
    'Share'
    'Quicktime'
    'Expert Settings'
    'Audio as AIFF' or pick your brand of compression.
    Drag and drop the resulting file into iTunes.
    Enjoy!
    P.S. - You didn't need to delete the video but I think that'll be okay.

    Let us assume you have all the data from the jsp form in an java bean object..
    Now you want a xml file. This can be acheived in 2 ways
    1. Write it into a file using java.io classes. Say you have a class with name
    write("<name>"+obj.getName+</name>);
    bingo you have a flat file with the xml
    2. Use data binding to do the trick
    will recommend JiBx and Castor for the 2nd option

    I'll assume you want to create a still to use outside FCPX, not a still frame within FCPX.  It's kinda hidden in the "share."  Go File/Share/Add Destination.  You want "Save Current Frame."  After you've created that destination, it'll be there for you in the future under Share.

    Hey Gary,
    Have a look at this post: Re: horizontal scrolling similar to excel
    Andy's reply will show you how to make a table scroll horizontally, but it will be tough to accomplish it in some sort of easily replicable way. I am working on a JQuery extension that will help accomplish this, but I have had my time invested in another project at the moment.
