I have decided to use FRB to create all my reports inside my app. I find it much more flexible than just using Clarion's report procedures. However, it is the context parameters for the report to work properly that made me write this post. By this I mean the variables that provide range or filters for the report, for example, a Sales Report has to ask for a range of dates, and so forth. So let's say I create a report for my client that prints the Sales by Client (report 1). I could easily just copy that report and make it print the Sales by Product (report 2), Agent (report 3), etc. My approach is to use as less hard code as possible, so the question is: once I create reports 2 and 3 (on my client's site, using FRB), how to set (somehow) the values for the dates (range). Crystal Reports has this tool to use Parameters, and everytime the report is called, CR itself prompts for those values. I hope I explained it right because right now it is a thought, but I would definitely like to make it work. Thank you in advance.

Hi Antonio, This feature is already present in Fomin Report Builder. You can create “Entry Fields” in run-time report dictionary. And user will be able to enter a value for the Entry Field and press “Start” button to generate report. See Hist02.rpt sample report layout from FRB example application. It has two "Entry fields" created.

Hello. How do I create entry fields so that these values ​​can be used to filter reports at runtime? Excuse my ignorance... thanks.
