Parameters, how to display in Report Header

[BillPeck]

I'm working on Ch 14 of the Crystal 9-Complete Reference (George Peck), specifically p. 386.

I've created three parameter fields but can't get the entered values to display on the Preview tab as they do on the screen shot on p. 386.

Here's what my Preview tab displays:
Customer Name includes bik (ok, this is what I entered)
Regions include AL (only AL displays, I entered about 5 regions)
Orders placed between (this is blank but I entered two dates)

Here's my selection formula:
{Customer.Customer Name} like "*"&{?Customer Name}&"*" and
{Customer.Region} = {?Region(s)} and
{Orders.Order Date} in {?Order Date(s)}

Why don't my parameters display?

Thanks !

Bill

To display multiple value and range parameters, you have to use formulas.

For {?Region(s)}:
[tt]
//@dispStringParam
"Regions include " + join({?Region(s)},", ")
[/tt]
For the dates, you can create a formula like:
[tt]
//@dispDateRangeParam
"Order placed between " + totext(minimum({?Order Date(s)})) + " and " + totext(maximum({?Order Date(s)}))
[/tt]

Hello All,

I've one problem while using parameter values in CR7.
When i select the month and year range suppose from yr 03 to 04 i get the error "minimum cannot be larger than maximum".
Is there any solution for this problem,i wanted to print the data from say apr-03 to mar-04.
