Actuate , date and parameter settings.
INTRODUCTION:
=============
Actuate and dates is a bit confusing from time to time.
PROCEDURAL APPROACH:
====================
When you parameterize a date field in Actuate you need to know this:
The value you give to the parameter at runtime has to be the same
as the Regional settings on your O/S (client side).
You know that the dates passed from Progress has to be US-default
for Actuate to recognize them.
On a runtime parameter it's different, then you need to pass the O/S
view format.
Example: January 5 - 95 is passed from Progress as 1/5/95
You have European dateformat on your PC with hyphen separator.
In the runtime parameter you give: 05-01-95
If this shouldn't work, try to wrap the date in # signs.
Example: #05-01-95#
That way you make sure it's treated as a date.
I'm not yet sure why that happens some times.
