Crystal Report question: Can you perform a seach with in a report that is completed?

I have a report that is completed, however there are thousands of clients records or data. So I need to be able to perform a search from the (find function, binoculars) while in main mode. this search should only return the 1 client's info to review at a time? Is this possible?

The search/find in Crystal only moves to the record and highlights the value.   It doesn't do any filtering or show only the selected records.

TO do what you want you would need to add a parameter and set it to the value you want then refresh the report.

OK guys give me a chance to try it. It will probably be tomorrow before I'm able to respond.

Thanks
Sorry if my answer seems to be stupid :).

You can export the complete report to pdf/excel and then by using search functionality you can reach your required data quickly.
