Hi
I have lots of reports that used to run under Crystal 10 where there is a date parameter which used to default to the current date, (though obviously another could be selected if wanted). Now we have moved to Crystal XI, and the reports are running under Infoview, and the users have to enter a date every time. I have set defaults for strings and numbers, but I do not seem to be able to set defaults to today's date any more.
Can anyone tell me how to do it?

I am using Crystal 2008 so this may not help, but couldnt you create a formula and select  Current date from the function listing.
