Displaying parameters in a report
(apologies if this already appears as a thread, 2nd atempt to post)
Hi,
I am presenting the user with a form containing parameter information,
in this case From and To dates. I then build a query which I pipelne
into the report. All fine.
However, I want to pass in those parameters so that I can display them
in the header (e.g. From: 12-Jan-2011 To: 14-Jan-2011), but can't work
it out. I have tried creating variables, and attempting to populate
them in OnBeforePrint (e.g. ppReport1.Variable1 := '12-Jan-2011') but
the variables aren't published/public.
I am sure it is really easy, but I can't figure it out. Can anyone help
please?
Many thanks

to access then Parameter you can assign a variable of type String. In the
code you can write
value := Report.Parameters['MyParamName']
