Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> How to return to parameter form in Reports 6?
I have a report where the user enters a date on the parameter form which the report uses in
building the WHERE clause. I can parse the string that the user enters and detect invalid dates
(although it seems like there must be an easier way) but the only way I've found of returning
to the parameter form so the user can correct the date is to return FALSE from the After
Parameter Form trigger. When I do that, Reports displays the error REP-0771: After Form Trigger
failed.
I'd like to suppress that-I've already displayed a message telling the user about the problem.
How do I simply return to the paramter form?
