I have a report that runs transcripts for people. I have a date parameter setup along with last and first name. The date parameter field is used to specify what year (ex. 1/1/2006 - 12/31/2006) to pull the information for.

Now..I have a text box at the bottom (Footer) of my report that says something to the affect of "Official transcripts for 2006". There will be times when I have to run the report using a different year other then "2006" in the date parameter field. How do I have the text at the bottom change to reflect the year I'm reporting on? If I use dates say in 2004 I need the text at the bottom to reflect that year and not 2006. Can this be accomplished?

Thx,
Bill

Just use the Year function to get the year from the date parameter in the textbox expression, it will look something like this

=Year(Parameters!yourparameter.Value)
