Hello

I was wondering if anyone figured out how to do this.

I have a parameter at the command level for PRTIME that will limit the records pulled, since that table gets to be big.

TR-DATE =?

To compare paychecks, I have another command set to PRTIME with the same parameters:

TR-DATE =?

Ideally, someone can put in parameter 1 = 7/1/07 and parameter s 7/15/07 so you can compare both paychecks.

However, OLEDB's command builder isn't liking adding the same parameter twice. The second one never appears in Crystal. I would think that you could do this.

Thank you,

ps

Phil, are you using two different OLEDB/ADO commands in the report?

Yes, I am using separate commands.

"Undocumented" feature?

Not undocumented, just not well-understood.
I demonstrated it back in 2005 as a way to "JOIN" when Lawson doesn't support the join:

Thanks, John.

I was away from this one for a bit, focusing on little victories.

You're right; the order of the joins matters. Adding the table with the prompted date fields first, then doing a left OJ on the 2nd table, resulted in success!

You the man!
