I thought that I had read that somewhere on the Business Objects site, but was hoping there was a fix for it. I guess it's another one of those &quot;by design&quot; things.

It's probably foolish of me to even ask this, but does anyone know if it's possible to change the format of dates entered in as date parameters? The default as suggested by the prompt is yyyy-mm-dd. My users want to enter it mm/dd/yyyy. I could make it a string parameter, then convert it, but then I'd lose the calendar control. <br />
<br />
Running CR XI (not yet R2, but possible) in a Windows environment. The report parameters are displayed via the viewer interfaced with C#.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance! =)

Crystal Reports XI Different Date Parameter Format

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application from SAP SE. It is used to graphically design data connections and report layouts from a wide range of data sources including Excel spreadsheets, Oracle, SQL Server databases and Access databases, BusinessObjects Enterprise business views, and local file-system information. Report designers can place fields from these sources on the report design surface, and can also deploy them in custom formulas (using either BASIC or Crystal's own syntax), which are then placed on the design surface. Crystal Reports also supports subreports, graphing, and a limited amount of GIS functionality.
