webElementsSimpleExample.rpt

[Former Member]

<p>Entered "2007-02-27" when prompted to "enter a value" for the webElementsSimpleExample.rpt however, I notice it passes &lsSdateprompt(107,2,27) and then populates order date with values from 12-2-2003 to 12-12-2003 due to the formula <span class="fc1172605992046-0">{Orders.Order Date} >= {?dateprompt}</span>. Perhaps it is my lack of Crystal experience that is making this simple report confusing, but I don&#39;t understand where it&#39;s getting the value 107 instead of 2007, second there are values in the xtreme sample database that range from 2/18/2003 to 4/9/2005. So, why does it only return 12-2-2003 to 12-12-2003 when all of those values are also greater than 2/27/107? </p>

sounds like you could be facing a platform issue. please ensure that you are testing on a windows internet explorer version 6.x. 7 will cause issues and you will get different behaviour on firefox.Â

i am unable to reproduce the issue that you are facing, that is why i am guessing that you are using a different platform than windows internet explorer 6.x.

normally, if you enter an incorrect date a default date will be used. if you enter a date with dashes such as "2007-02-27" it will enter the same default date as mentioned before. dates must be entered in the format "2007/02/27" as per the control's output.

dates should be returned to the url as "&lsSYourDatePromptName=Date(2007,2,27)"
