Hi David,

you can take a look at the customer report as an example (AR->Reports->Base
Data->Customer).

Also have a look at this blog post describing the things you have to do to
display the ranges/selections of the user in the report header.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks thta was a great help

I just added a page header section and override the executesection with

SysReportRun locSysReportRun;
;

locSysReportRun = element;
locSysReportRun.printRanges(true);

SysReportRun::executePrintRangeSection(element);


and the filter settings appear in the header.


The only slight problem is that they appear twice ie

Table Field Range
Test1 ItemId !APPLE*
Test1 ItemId !APPLE*
Test1 Ship date
"06/10/2010".."06/10/2010"
Test1 Ship date
"06/10/2010".."06/10/2010"

any idea why?

Thanks

David
