    Posted: 05 Nov 2007 at 10:24am
Greetings -
 
I have created a parameter field in my report, this parameter field is a date time RANGE value. In the report expert, I used the parameter so I make record selection based on the value range the user enters.
 
The user wants to have the parameter field displays on the page header so he knows the date range for when he ran the report.
 
When I drage the parm field to the report header and click on preview, the parm field does not display the date range which I entered when I ran the report! It shows the field parm as text, just its name shows!!!
 
Can you please tell me how to make it to print on the page header?
 
Thanks.

Hi Lava,

For range parameters, you need to create two formulas where each formula prints the lower or upper value. For the lower bounds, use the Minimum() function and for the upper value use the Maximum() function.

In my CR Encyclopedia book, on page 191 I give the code for printing  the value(s) of every type of parameter on your report.

Cool. Hopefully they'll let you get it. Half the questions I see on this forum are already answered in the book. It's the cheapest tech support around.
