MaxNBrowseValue Registry Key

Question

Hello,
We have a report with a parameter with dynamic prompt. This read entries from Item Master Table from the database. When running the report, only 500 or so item records are displayed in the prompt, though there are around 1500 records.
Upon searching on internet, I came across some posts for older versions that there is a registry key which controls the number of records being displayed. I changed this value to 1000, but there was no effect. In fact, after restarting, I realised that Crystal has changed the value back to 500.
Is there any other way to control this??
We are using Crystal Reports 2008 for SAP Business One.
Thanks & Regards,
Rahul Jain

Answer 1

the registry key changes are as follows
Crystal Reports 2008
1.     Create a registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 12\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV.
NOTE     Alternatively, you can create the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 12\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV and that key will override the settings of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 12\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV key.
2.     Add a string value "MaxRowsetRecords" and set the value to the maximum number of values that you desire for your report. For example, a value of 2000 will return up to 2000 values in the lowest level of a cascading parameter.
NOTE: The value 0 (Unlimited) will not work with BusinessObjects Enterprise XI R3 or Crystal Reports Server XI R3, you must specify another value.
NOTE     The higher the number of values is, the longer it will take the Enter Values dialog box to populate with values.
3.      After making changes to the registry, restart the affected service or application as required.
