default amper variable screen
Hi Everyone,

We frequently use &beg1 and &end1 for the beginning and end dates of reports (.fex). This causes the default screen with a blank free text field for each amper variable to come up. I would like the default screen to pop up a calendar to fill each of the &beg1 and &end1 dates. Has anyone ever tried to make the default a calendar instead of the free text field? Thanks for any help.

I used Dev Studio to make a 'box' a calendar type box on an HTML page, had to remove them though because our standard is it has to work under FIREFOX also and the calendar came up as a text entry box.

I'm not sure on using IB's standard submit screen however?

We covered this one a couple weeks back. You may be able to change the default prompt screen, but the consensus was that the autoprompt is the "quick and easy" way to populate parameters and customizations including adding controls other than the standard text box should be done from customized launch pages.

Darin
