ParameteRR fields

Post by jwwaterman » Wed Jun 20, 2001 10:53 am

Is there a wildcard available for use in a parameter field. Objective would be to have the default be to print all records, but allow the user to choose one or more selection criteria. An example would be print a class list for all teachers in all buildings, but allow the user to select one or more particular building numbers or one or more teachers.__Thanks,__John

If you are using the parameteRR in a query clause with the equal to operator, you can set the default value of the parameter to be "*" which would return all records.____But the problem would be if you wanted the users to enter a list of values instead of a single value.____There is probably a clever way to resolve that scenario but I do not have a quick idea that immediately comes to mind.__I am probably at least one cup of coffee away from it!____Kathleen__R&R Tech Support

Kathleen,__Gee, I thought I had tried that since "*" would seem to be the obvious wildcard. I^ll go back and look at it again.__Thanks.__John
