crystal report and textbox command

hi everybody.

I've been searching on this but can't seem to find the answer.

I have an access database with a table called tblDVD. This table has a field called 'actief' where the last date a dvd has been ordered is stored in. If a DVD hasn't been ordered the field is empty.

Now, I have to make a crystal report where the user first gives two dates (a start date and end date) in a textbox, and then the report should only show the DVD's who have been ordered between those dates.

I can't seem to find how to link the date input and the crystal report. Could anyone help me?

thanks.

hi
Try this

VB Code:

formula = "{table.field1} >= " & date1 & " and {table.field2} <= " & date2
crReportDocument.RecordSelectionFormula = formula

You could pass the parameters to the crystal report, you could fill a dataset with the filtered data and pass the dataset to the crystal report, or you could use the formula/parameter fields in crystal reports.

Code:

Private Sub bestverkopend_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim rpt As New CrystalReport2
        Dim dat1 As String = txtdat1.Text
        Dim dat2 As String = txtdat2.Text

        Dim datum1 As Date
        Dim datum2 As Date
        datum1 = dat1
        datum2 = dat2
        datum1.ToShortDateString()
        datum2.ToShortDateString()


        'Dim mySelectFormula As String = "{tblDVD.actief} >= Date(2006,05,06) " _
        '& "AND {tblDVD.actief} <= Date(2006,05,12) "
        Dim mySelectFormula As String = "{tblDVD.actief} >= datum1 " _
        & "AND {tblDVD.actief} <= datum2 "


        CrystalReportViewer1.SelectionFormula = mySelectFormula
        'Dim reportPath As String =
        'Application.StartupPath & "\" & "CrystalReport2.rpt"
        CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rpt

        CrystalReportViewer1.ShowGroupTreeButton = False

---

I get "error in formula <record selection>"{tblDVD.actief} >= datum1 " _
& "AND {tblDVD.actief} <= datum2 "
a number, currency, amount boolean, date, time, date-time or string is expected here.
