When I use 'add command' in my sub report, my dynamic parameter list shrinks.
I added the following command as a left outter join to my sub report:
SELECT Min([Date]) "Date", [customer id] "Customer Id"
FROM dbo.Customers_with_Dates_i
GROUP BY [customer id]
Inside my subreport I have a dynamic parameter which gets its values from a table (not the command). Before I added the command, the list of values (as presented when you refresh the report) was over 300. Now that I have the add command in the sub report, it only shows me like 15 values.
Has anyone else had this happen before? If so any ideas what would cause it?

That is the full sql of the command. I really dont think its limiting the records because when i browse the field which the parameter is based on, I still see all the values...
Any other things you think it could be?

The table linking looks like this:
(This is a left outer join to the manager table.)
-----------------Sql Command I pasted above.
|
Manager Table--------------------L
|
------------------ Many other misc views
In total there are 6 views all left outter j oined to the manager table.
There really isnt any more sql in that 'add command' . Does this help?
WHat is driving the parameter list?
I believe it is the full SQL for the report which would include all the tables.
How is the COMMAND joined - on what field(s)

The parameter list is driven by a field on one of my views.
The 'add command' which i posted above is joined to the main customer table through a manager id. When i link the 'add command' to the manager table it only gives me a choice of Inner Join or Left Outter Join. I've tried them both and in each case the parameter list is shrunk. Remeber, no matter which way I join the 'add command' to the manager table, I can still go to the field which is driving the parameter list and 'browse it' and I see the complete list of values.
A field on one of my other 6 views is driving the parameter list.
What do you mean when you say 'I believe it is the full SQL for the report which would include all the tables.

My guess is that it has something to do with the message that gets displayed when i link the add command which I'm uploading, although nothing really makes sense as to what exactly it would be..

When you browse a field you see all the data for that field in the database
When you get prompted for the values in the parameter prompts Crystal actually runs the SQL and displays the values that were returned.

Do you have any suggestions on how I can get all the values to display?
What are you trying to accomplish with the Command?

I never really resolved this issue, but I circumvented it by getting the dba to create a view.

Thanks for your help.
It sounds like the new part is limiting the records for some reason?
