	Try and put a () around each part of the statement to make sure they both execute: (If {?Tech} = 'ALL' Then {Command.TECH} like '' Else {Command.TECH} = {?Tech}) AND (If {?Agent}='ALL' Then {Command.AGENT} like '' Else {Command.AGENT} = {?Agent})

	Thank you for your fast response. I Tried to enclose them and no not data is pulled.

	For future views/reference the below should be a more efficient approach: ({?Tech} = 'ALL' or {Command.TECH} = {?Tech}) AND ({?Agent}='ALL' or {Command.AGENT} = {?Agent})

	{fpartno} = IIF({?PartNbr} = 'All', '' , {?PartNbr}) this is what i would hope happened, i tried to use the above solution given on the forum but it didnt work. It was ignoring my time constraints. this is my complete selection formula: fpartno} = IIF({?PartNbr} = 'All', '' , {?PartNbr}) and {fctime_ts} >= {@StartDate} and {fctime_ts} < {@EndDate} this isnt like the solution in the fact that it doesnt use like. anyone know how to either make the mentioned answer on this forum work with dates or how ot make this way work?

	the problem with what you have is that i need to get all the part numbers. that would have to be a like '*' or something to that effect

	{?PartNbr} = 'All' evalautes to true so has no filtering effect which is equivalent to your desired effect Edited by DBlank - 09 Jun 2011 at 5:58am

	i guess im missing somthing, could you maybe explain how it being true will help me select every part number in the date range?
