Hi
I am running my report on web called through a form.
I am using paraform to get input from the users.I have an lov having more than 900 entries.
so if i wish to select India as a country i type "I" it goes to values starting with I but when i press "N" instead of showing entries with "IN" it goes to entries starting with "N".So i want is when i type "IN" it should to entries starting with "IN"
How i can incorporate that in my report lov??
I cannot un restrict that as i have more than 900 entries n when i restricting this the problem am facing...

Have the user input all necessary parameters in the form, have the LOV in the form.
Pass the values to the report.
Don't bother using reports paramform at all.
I've written lots of reports and I've never once used the paramform.

That what?
The LOV behaviour you say you want is standard in forms.
I would have thought it was standard in reports as well, but apparently not.

Maybe?
You aren't really giving me a lot of information to work with here.
Is it just this report that you're having problems with or are there others?
If it's just this one then just write a seperate form to call this one.

I am having a form which calls almost 135 reports and from them around 50-60 reports have lov..In some reports lov is same and in some it is changing and without making a huge change i have to incorporate the lov behaviour mentioned above.the reports are called using the report_id and the parameters are passed through after trigger in the respective reports and incorporated in the url..Paraform is turned on so the user can also enter or modify the data..As i am new with it If u still feel am missing to provide some information let me know...

Well it's possible there is way of making the LOV work correclty in the paramform. I don't know what it is but others reading this might. So you can always wait and see if anyone else has anything to contribute.
Failing that you can either live with it as it is or start using forms LOVs instead.
If you're going to do the later then you're almost certainly going to need more than one form to call the reports.
However since a lot of the reports apparently use the same parameters you aren't going to need 135 forms.
How many you will need is something you're going to have to work out yourself.
A point to bear in mind is that you can hide/show items in forms programatically.
So say 50 reports need parameter A and 40 need parameter B.
You can have an item for each of parameter A and B on the form and show the correct one programatically based on the report selected.
So it could well be that you can run most of the reports off of one form and only use other forms for reports that just don't have any parameters in common with the others.
