Hi there,

I'm a new Crystal reports user (2008v) and am writing a report which propts the user for a date range (from table Trandet).

I have created a dynamic parameter value, but users get a list of all dates from the trandet table but have to select from a drop down, and cant type.

i would like to set it so users can either type a starte and end date, or better yet, choose from a calendar. 

the report also contains two sub-repots which need to use the same date range. How could i set that up?

your help is much appreciated.

Do not use the dynamic parameter but rather a static parameter as a Date type.

Create 2 paramters, one as Start Date the other as End Date.
Then in your select statment use them as:
{table.datefield} in {?start Date} to {?End Date}
