Hi,

here is my requirement,

This is my employee table

empname age salary
------------------
A 25 1000
B 26 2000
C 24 3000

I want to list the employees based on the column names user try to select in a combo box.

for example the combo box has the column names displayed as AGE/SALARY

If the user select AGE. the report should list

empname age
------------
A 25
B 26
C 24

and, if the user select SALARY. the report should list

empname salary
--------------
A 1000
B 2000
C 3000

can some one help me achieve this. Is there any way we can achieve this?

I am planning to create two different reports and using hidden/visible property i am planning to display the required report.

Is it possible to create only one report and achieve the result.

Thanks,
Guru

This should be very simple.

If your combo box name is PARM1 and the values match the column names, then your code would be:
TABLE FILE EMPLOYEE
PRINT &PARM1
BY EMPNAME
END

When you say its not working, it realy helps to say what is actually happening, error messages, and post your code, so we can check it out.
