Crystal Reports Dynamic Parameters

I have written a report in Crystal utilizing dynamic parameters.  When I run the report outside of Sage, it works fine and all of the parameters work as they should.  If I add the report to Sage 100, the parameters no longer function properly.  There is nothing to select from in the drop down lists.  I have adjusted the LOV values on my pc as well as on our server, but it did not seem to help.  I ran the report, within Sage 100, from our server and it worked properly.  I would appreciate any ideas.

    I am having the same problem on Sage Premium 5.1. Parameters do not work from within Sage menu when users are logged in. Parameters are not dynamic. 1 Parameter has a list of values loaded in (values do not display) & another is a Date Parameter. (Date calendar icon is shaded out.) Report only shows parameters correctly when run directly on server from within Sage.

    What version of Crystal are you using? What Sage 100 version? Did you uncheck "Save Data with Report" under the File menu in CR?

    This is Sage version 5.1 Premium (SQL) version. Crystal is 2011 version. "Save Data with Report" is unchecked. If we run reports from within Sage directly on server, parameter screen is accessible and selection values display (either with Dynamic Parameter or Static Parameter w/values loaded in). When users run report, parameter screen pops up but selection values are blank and date parameter calendar icon is shaded out. I consulted a SQL programmer at one of our other clients & he said he could never get reports with parameters to run from within the Sage menu on Sage Premium. He thought the report request screen could not connect to the database. Yet I have another Sage SQL client who has at least 50 Crystal Reports with parameters running off the Sage menu with no issues at all. Very strange...
