I am trying to write a report where users can select as much or as little data to display by using combo boxes. For example:

Cars
You have three combo boxes called Year (primary), Make(secondary), and Model(tertiary).
If a person you like to see all information about 2006 cars, Make would auto populate with all available Makes from 2006. Then if they chose Toyota, Model would auto populate with only available 2006 Toyota models.

I have been looking through the documentation on how to auto populate based on an Event, like onChange or onIndexChange, and use that events selected value to populate the next value, but I keep striking out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So i have been going through some of the documentation, but I cannot figure out how to create the variables in the fex file so when I publish the fex, I can create drop down lists to associate with the report variables.

Alright, let me phrase it another way,
Although I have created the report variables I have not been successful figuring out a way to assign the form control to the parameters. Now before you say look in the documentation, I have. I am looking at

http://documentation.ibi.com/m...13appsgt/layout5.htm

It did import my variables, but they are Unassigned and when clicking the drop down box in the parameters window, unassigned is the only option I have.
What step to this process could I be missing?

If your fex has at least these lines
-DEFAULT &Year = ' '
-DEFAULT &Make = ' '
-DEFAULT &Model = ' '


Then create your launch page with this link should create the matching controls:
