I want to create several reports that use a data
entry window where the end-user has to enter
the "Start Date" and "End Date". I am unsure
how to create these and wether I should use
a collector window, or one that is attached to
a table. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

John,
We do this in a couple of ways, if I am
understanding what you want to do.
We use RLIST statements within Rbasic programs,
and use collector windows called by the program
to gather criteria for the RLIST statements.
Another way we do this is to use BATCH TCL commands,
which are documented in the manuals. This is not
as elegant, and maybe not as easy for the user,
but does not require a program to be written.
I created VOC records containing the batched TCL
statements, then ran these from a menu. I did have
problems with the screen getting corrupted, but got
around those by sending long comments to the screen.
