End user design reports using todays date as a filter

rbuser

Hi,

I'm new to reportbuilder and I'm updating a delphi app to use it instead of
quick reports. I'd like the end user to be able to design their own reports
which is obviously easy to do but they need to be able to use today's date
as a filter on date fields if they wish. e.g. if they wanted to create a
report of all future events in a calender type table for example. The only
way I can see to do it at the moment is to use a search criteria field and
let the end user enter today's date manually ever time.

Thanks in advance

Mike

Hi Mike,

Thanks for trying ReportBuilder.

It is possible to use the autosearch feature without having your end-user
enter anything in. Check out the demo located in the \RBuilder\Demos\5.
AutoSearch\6. Set End-User Search Criteria in Code\... directory. This
example sets a search criteria without the need for a user to enter in a
value. Be sure to set Report.ShowAutoSearchDialog to False.
