Hi, Fellow :) We have all those OSes (95,98,NT,XP, Mac) spread over the place ...
and I fear there are much more places like this keeping it another shameful secret ...
[Quoted] much more than we might think. At least our server is AIX ...

Even if You have no docco, it would be very helpful if You could tell - if You are trying to start a *.rep File (on W95/98 You would find a background box called Reports Background Engine with a logging function), - if it has a Parameter Mask
(You indicate it by "dropdown") ...

My guess from my Crystal Ball
(no Version, no etc ...~8o| )
is:
if You have a *.rep file, and You are not developing Yourself using Developer2000 / DS6i,
then the Parameter mask cannot be changed because the *.rep is compiled. Otherwise I would suggest You to open the *.rdf in Developer and change the PM for
[Quoted] Your needs. Multiple Selections can be done, of course, then.
