Set a Date Parameter To Default

[cguyreports]

I am using crystal 8.5 and have a date parameter on a field. Is there anyway to set the parameter to default to the current day?

Thanks so much for any help.

You could set a default value for the date parameter to something that no one would ever use.
For example, set the default value to 1990/01/01
Explain in the Prompting Text that if the user leaves the default value, today's date will be used.
Then, in your record selection formula, do something like this:

{Table.Date} = IIF({?Param}=Date(1990,01,01),CurrentDate,{?Param})
