	Crystal is not a programming language. It will not validate your date string, it will just use it. You might create a formula that will read the parameter and if it incorrect will change the report title or show some text on the blank report, but there is no alert functionality. A formula is the best that you can do, but if the data is a string, and the user entered the wrong value, the report will either a)display the valid data for the incorrect parameter or b)display nothing since nothing matches.

	Hi yes you can do that CURRENTLY YOU HAVE DATE PARAMETER ,if you enter incorrect Date format do you get the message below "This parameter is of type \"Date\" and should be in the format \"yyyy-mm-dd\" where \"yyyy\" is the four digit year, \"mm\" is the month (e.g. January = 1), and \"dd\" is the number of days into the given month."; if yes it is coming from the variable var L_BadDate which has been assigned text string you can change the Text to below or what ever you want to display var L_BadDate = "Please enter the date in correct format."; the above code could be found in the following file promptengine_strings_en path C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\3.5\crystalreportviewers115\prompting\js I have crystal XI release 2 Cheers Rahul
