I'm working on the parameters (chpt 05) and I can't seem to get the program to prompt me for parameters unless I drag the parameter from the Field Explorer to the report. Then all it does is display the text that I select and display it on the report form. I have created the parameter and set the default values for Employee Position from the xtreme database.I'm trying to get the report to filter the output according to the parameter that I select. Page 93 of the book says "When a report has parameters, the user is prompted to enter values when the report is run". I find this not to be the case. I don't get prompted until I drag the parameter onto the report.
For example;
I'm trying to create a parameter for Employee Position that will filter the report's output according to the postition that I select. I created a parameter for the report called 'Position' and set the default values.
How do I get the program to prompt me for a parameter without dragging and dropping the parameter onto the form?
How do I get the program to filter the output according to the parameter that I select?
