There are very few people on Cognoise who ise Impromptu. If people view and don't reply, it is because they don't feel they can add anything that would help.

The most likely reason is that you haven't given us the steps you took to build your cascading prompts. How can you expect anyone to help you if you point us to a published technique which is proven to work and simply say "however they are blank". You haven't told us the steps you took so how can we know what you did wrong?

From what I recall of Inmpromptu, you need to create a simple list report for your first prompt with a list of values in it. The second report will be a simple list containing the same item plus a second, and the report will have a report prompt on the first item that points to the initial report. The final report follows the same pattern, using the second item.

I guess the results you get on a public forum like this are driven by the amount of effort you put in when you initially describe your problem. If you don't give precise details of your issue, people can't help you.
