Form to create formula

Is it possible to create a form / pop up table for users to input criteria to search upon.

I am trying to set up a template to search, for example, for serial numbers where {contsupp.contact} = "serial number" (with other set criteria)is it possible to have this set up for users who are not familiar with crystal reporting so that they are prompted to insert a serial nuimber #1234 in a field which then populates the "serial number" area and runs the search?If you create a parameter field, you can set it in the select expert as the field you want (so, for example if you have serialnumber as a field, the parameter field (?serial) would be set up to use that field and then in the select expert you would select
{whatevertable.serialnumber}=?serial

Then, the crystal viewer will pop up a parameter select form automatically.
