Hi all,

I've been having a problem with passing a date range to my sub report. I created 2 parameters in my main report, named StartDate and EndDate. I then created 2 shared variables, with the formulas

StartDate:
shared datevar StartDate;
StartDate := {?Start date};
""

EndDate:
shared datevar EndDate;
EndDate := {?End date};
""

In my subreport, I then created the formulas

StartDate:
shared datevar StartDate;
StartDate

EndDate:
shared datevar EndDate;
EndDate

When I drop these formulas in my report, I get the dates I entered before. However, I need these dates for my date range. But when I try to put them in my Selection Formula, I get the error "This formula cannot be used bacause it must be evaluated later".

Is there anyone who had this problem before, and can help me fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Gerben

I had the same problem where I wanted to pass the same date range selected in my main report down to the subreport.

I found this and tried it today and it worked for me. Hopefully it will for you.
