can you give me a hint how to do this? I guess i have to manipulate the parameters and the variables via the Report Inspector at the left and the Properties at the right (ireport 5.6.0) The way you described is bringing the value1 from a parameter to a variable and then back to a parameter. This i dont know how to do, please tell me. I dont know why i need condition, because i get exactly one value1, and this value1 want use for the second query. greetz
