On the standard report parameter form the only thing you can do beyound the plain text input is a drop-down list. The list can be populated by either SQL or with fixed items. To create the list use "List of Values" property on a parameter's propery palette.

Thanks for your response, where do i find the parameters property pallete. Is this when i have draged a field to the form and double clicked on the field. The same place i assign the fields source.

You need to double click on the parameter icon in the Object Navigator, or press F4 when the parameter name is highlighted there. The parameters are under the Data Model-->User Parameter branch.

You will need to use Oracle Forms to create parameter form with all those features. There is no way to do anything beyound drop down list using Oracle Reports only.

nagornyi, you state there is no way to do anything beyond drop down list using Oracle Reports only. Do you know of any tools that can be purchased that will allow you to use List Boxes.

Thanks for your help
