Problem with ParameteRR Field

Post by reshelman » Fri Aug 24, 2001 9:04 am

I am having a problem with ParameteRR Fields that will not change their value. I load report, click preview, enter parameter value, report displays correct data 1st time. But if I close preview screen, click display again, enter a different parameter value, it keeps the first entered value. The only way to get it to use the changed value is to close and reopen the report. __Note also:__- The parameteRR field I^m having a problem with is a date field, BTW.__- I have loaded 9.0.008 Service Pack____Has anyone else reported this problem?____Thx.

Have done further testing of this - what happens is parameter field value does change, but the filter is not regenerated. So if filter includes parameter value, it will not be updated. Only way to do so is to close report and reopen.____Have tested with date and numeric parameter field type.____Katherine, please let me know if you get same results.

Are you using the SQL edition?____If so, instead of using the parameteRR field in the filter, create a calculated field with the expression:____RR(parameteRRfieldname)____and then use this calculated field in the filter.____This will get you around the problem.____Kathleen__R&R Support
