I needed create a selection formula based on three different selection criteria and combinations thereof. Using Brian's book and looking at how he worked a default value of ...All into the prompting scheme, I was able to quickly create the final solution. Brian's book saved me time and my customer money.
In the end I was to provide the report the customer wanted along with my free report viewer and they liked the results.
