How can I use "auto search" criteria in other queries

rbuser

I have an End-User report with multiple independent queries that feed
independent sub-reports. Is there any way I can use a user defined date
range via "auto search" from one query, then copy those dates to the other
queries using RAP before the report prints? Thanks for your help.

Below are a couple of examples that show how to do this.

Thanks for the info and sample programs. But, I'm basically an end-user in
this situation and don't have access to the Delphi code. I only have the
end-user interface (with RAP) available to me. Your example says that the
function "ConfigureOrderSearchCriteria" can be implemented as a RAP
pass-through function, but can I do this without access to the Delphi
program? How can I replicate the first query's auto search criteria to
other queries using only RAP?

Thanks very much.

You need Delphi to implement RAP pass-through functions.
