DESCRIPTION
This utility was designed to help with the creation of dropdown lists and prompts for parameter fields in a report. Ultimately, this utility is designed to help create an HTML front end to pass parameters to your report over the Web.
The ASP code shows how the Parameter Field Object in a report can be manipulated. To take full advantage of this utility, you should provide prompting text for your parameter fields as well as default values.
This code will not work for Range Type parameters. If your report needs to use range values, you can create two parameters (i.e. a start value and an end value). If your parameter is a date field, you do not need to supply default values since this utility uses a calendar control to pick dates.
The source code can be changed to fit in with the overall look of your website.
