Crystal Reports & Comboboxes

Hello,

Let's say I have a form with a combobox full of names like George, Chris, James, etc.

Could I select from this list and.......

1) Pass the selection to crystal reports so it only shows the information regarding 'James' in CrystalReportViewer?

--or--

2) While CrystalReportViewer is on, put a combobox in another form where CrystalReportViewer is placed choose a name
from it and then filter according to the name selection?

I have a long list of names and I don't want to hardcode like:

VB Code:

If cboName.Text = "James" Then
'
'
'
End if
 
If cboName.Text = "Chris" Then
'
'
'
End If

ETC.

Please let me know if you have any solutions?

Chris

I generally pass a dataset to my reports for their data which means I can filter it before sending it if I want.

Got any code samples for creating a dataset and then passing it to Crystal Reports?

Thanks

Chris
