I use relative date codes on my reports all the time. They allow me to use codes like "t-1" for "yesterday" or "mb" for beginning of current month. This is particularly useful when scheduling reports to run from Business Objects because you don't have to set up multiple scheduled instances for each time the report runs. My monthly reports are always set as selecting data from "mb-1" to "me-1" (previous month beginning to previous month end). It would be very helpful to have a function that was part of Crystal so that I wouldn't have to set up the formula every time I do another report.
