    Posted: 12 Sep 2013 at 4:58am
I have a parameter that selects a certain customer number, but if the user does not put a value in the parameter [leaves it blank] - I need the report to return ALL customers.
 
How do I accomplish this?
 
Thanks-

This statement goes into the select record formula, I assume?

Thanks DBlank, I will try this -- I do have another parameter to consider... the user has the choice of running the report by customer (or) by State, and if either param is blank, the report runs for everyone. How would I specify the State part of it?

what happens if they enter both? does one trump the other or do they work in concert?
