Enter Parameter Values dialog

This dialog appears at runtime when you preview or print a report with one or more parameters. In this dialog, all the parameter names used in the report and prompting information are listed. See the dialog.

The way to specify a parameter value varies with the type and properties of the parameter. Here are several ways you can use to specify parameter values:

• In the parameter value combo box, select the required one from the drop-down list or input the value manually.
• Select or unselect the checkbox to specify a Yes/No value.
• Click the button to specify multiple values in the Enter Values dialog.
• Click the calendar button to specify a date and time value using either calendar or expression in the Calendar dialog. If you use an expression to specify the value, when you hover the mouse pointer over this value, a tip will appear showing its expression. Click on the value, the expression will be displayed in the value text box and you can edit the expression in the text box directly if you want. After editing, when you click elsewhere outside of the value text box:
  • If the edited expression is correct, a new value calculated by the expression will be displayed in the parameter value text box.
  • If the edited expression is wrong, no value will be created and the expression itself will be displayed and highlighted in red in the value text box. Correct the expression, or click the calendar button to specify a value.
