Hello All-

I am trying to create a prompt in report parameters but I am getting the
value for every row in the query. How do I only display a single instance of
each choice? Also - when I do pick one, the report still shows everything
even different items than I want. What can I do to fix this problem?

Thanks,

GT

GT,

First of all, I'm guessing you're using a select query to populate the
parameter list.
Simply do a "distinct" in that query.

Example:
Select distinct catagory_name from sales_orders

For the second question; have you included the paramater name in your query?
For example, if you have a parameter with catagories, and you want to filter
on this, you would have to alter your query to

select * from sales_orders where catagory_name in (@name_of_your_parameter)

(Note, this is for a multi-value parameter)

Good luck, Rob
