Hello Members,
I have Crystal report that has date range parameters ? Can i default the end date parameter with the current date (which changes every other day automatically)? Is it possible to do this in Crystal Reports ?


Thanks in Advance!
 
You could do it indirectly. Have a default value you are never going to use - 1/1/1900, for instance. Create a formula field that checks the 'end' parameter and uses the current date if it finds 1/1/1900.

This is based on Crystal 11. It always helps to give your Crystal version - 8, 8.5, 9, 10, 11 or whatever. Methods sometimes change between versions, and higher versions have extra options.
