Calendar Option is not displaying next to Date fields for report input parameters

rbuser

Hi,
I am creating a report which has date fields as input parameters. I have
noticed that in some reports, the date field has a calendar option next
to it to allow the user to select a date. But with the date fields I have
added, I do not get any calendar option.

I noticed that the date fields in the other reports are listed as a type
DATE, whereas my date fields are listed as DateTime. Digging deeper I
found there are DB tables such as REPORT_FIELD and REPORT_PARAMETER. This
looks like where the fields in the other reports are being defined as
DATE rather than DATETIME. I am looking for how to update these Report
tables with the correct information - I realize I can do a insert into
this table but want to know if Report Builder already does this from the
front end.

Please help.

Hi,

For future reference, please use your real name when posting to these

The calendar option is a custom addition (demonstrated in the AutoSearch
example located in the \RBuilder\Demos\AutoSearch\... directory). The DB
tables you mention are not included with ReportBuilder. They are another
custom aspect of the app you are using or working with. You will need to
update these tables manually or update the custom autosearch dialog you are
using if you would like to see a calendar for different data types.
