Hi Mike,
You are correct that there seems to be a limitation in Crystal Reports 4.0 (the engine that drives Quik Reports for Windows) as to the number of elements in an array. 24 is that limitation. There are two things you can do:
- You can combine multiple 24 element array statements separated by OR. For example:
If customer number in ["1","2",...,"24"] OR customer number in ["25","26",...,"45"] then...
This will allow you to be able to select from more than 24 choices.
- There is a newer version of this report writer available, now known as Crystal Reports for Adagio, It is based on the Crystal Reports 8.5 print engine (which is current technology as compare to 4.0 which is 7 years old). There is no restriction as to the number of elements you can put into a single array with this program.
In addition, you can use features such as Runtime Parameters, Subreports, Report Alerts, and lots of other neat stuff.
Regards,
