Hi Guys,
I am having a stored proc with date parameter and datetime datatype.........something like this...
Exec sp_report_temp @EndDate

Now whenever I execute the above stored proc, I want in the 'preview' tab to be shown with a small calender button so that i can select whatever date i want from that calender. For this purpose, in the report parameters, I am using Datetime datatype instead of string datatype for EndDate.

But for some reason, I am not able to get exactly what I want.....like....when i click the calender button and select 4th of Jan (4/01/2008), its showing the values for 1st of April (01/4/2008) and when i click and select 30th of Dec (12/30/2007), its showing the following error :
"An error occured during local report processing.The value provided for the report parameter 'EndDate' is not valid for its type."
Does anyone have a clue how to resolve this issue???
Any help is really appreciated...

Thanks.
Raaj

Its seems like either report language property or language property of your system is set to English US. Change it your English (UK) which will interpret date in dmy format.

Hi Visakh,
Thanks for your reply.

I have checked both the report language property and the languaue property of my system. Both are set to English (Australia) only.
i.e.dd/mm/yyyy format only

Any other clues???

Is this happening only in preview tab or also in server. i've heard of a know issue which causes this problem occuring only in preview tab but will work fine after deploying to server.

thats a known issue. we're told here to refrain from using datepicker control in preview tab as its has this problem.
