Using CR 8.5. Is there any way to make the default of a date parameter as today's date at 6:00 AM.

To further explain....If I set up a date parameter, I can set the default to any date I want. But I want to always have the current date at 6:00 AM as the default, so that if the report is to be run for today's date, no changes will have to be made on the parameter screen.

Is this at all possible?
 
Unfortunately not in Crystal.

There are schedulers that can accomplish this, such as Crystal Enterprise or one of the products on Ken's site:


You might consider just scheduling the report and placing the output in a generic location and pointing everyone to it.
