Defaulting Date Parameter

Hello,

I have a report parameter StartDate. Properties are

DataTypeataTime

Prompt: StartDate

Default Values:

Non Queried : =NOW()

I set the default value to Now(). When I go to preview, the StartDate parameter is blank and its been locked & grayed out. I also tried

Today() and Globals!SystemTime but that does not work either. Is there any other solution to make this work?

Thanks

Raj

I have not seen any responses on this. Wanted to see if there are any ideas/ thoughts on this.|||

Try:

Code Snippet

=cDate(FormatDateTime(Now, DateFormat.ShortDate))

Larry|||HI,
You can give the following expression for the default value of startdate;
DateValue(now()).

Cheers,

Is this the only parameter in your report? If it is, then you shouldn't be having any problems.

If not, try entering the values for all the parameters that come before StartDate. Then you should be able to see the default value & it should not be greyed out any more.
