1303981 - User warning if Begin Date Parameter is later than End Date parameter

Crystal Reports does not intelligently inform the users if they enter a beggining date parameter later than the ending date parameter

1 - Create two separate date type parameters for {?BeginDate} and {?EndDate}

2 - Create your record selection formula based on those two parameters:

  {Orders.Order Date} >= {?BeginDate}
  AND
  {Orders.Order Date} <= {?EndDate}

3 - Test by entering a {?BeginDate} value later than the {?EndDate} value.

1 - Create two separate date type parameters for {?BeginDate} and {?EndDate}

2 - Create your record selection formula based on those two parameters:

  {Orders.Order Date} >= {?BeginDate}
  AND
  {Orders.Order Date} <= {?EndDate}
