Assuming that you are using Quik Reports for Windows (based on the version number you stated), runtime variables can only be handled if you run the report from a compiled executable. You cannot change the selection formula at runtime if you print the report from the program.

Quik Reports for Windows is based on the Crystal 4 print engine, thus does not use Runtime Paramters in the same way you may be used to with Crystal 5 or later.

To use runtime selection, you must enter your selection formula in the report as usual. It does not really matter what you enter for values (IE Date >= Jan 1/2001, or customer number = 'ABC01'), as what you enter will only be used as default.

Save the report, then run the Compile Report function. This will create an EXE file which is what you will use to run the report. You do not have to run the report distribution function if you plan to run the report on a station that has access to Quik Reports for Windows.

Lastly, run the created EXE file, which will have a file name identical to the file name of the report. There is a checkbox called 'Modify Selection Formula', which you must have selected. When you print this report (either to screen or a printer), you have the opportunity of editing each field in the selection formula, or leaving it as the default.

With Quik Reports for Windows, this is the only way to be able to print a report and change the selection formula values at the time of printing, without editing the report.
