DatePicker as a Report Parameter

Is there a way in RS2000 that you can change the default textbox for a date
field parameter to a datepicker? As this would simplify input obviously for
the end user!
MarkNo, that's not possible with RS. But I've read that you can do your own web
service and add that functionality from there (don't ask me how)

Please mark the correct/helpful answers!|||Yea ive decided to create my own front end in asp.net, and use postback to
get the info from RS.
I read about the datepicker functionality being available in RS2005? Is
this true?

2005 (you have to have a license for 2005 though). It is soooo much easier
and less costly to have RS 2005 versus developing your own frontend.

fact, that is what I will be doing.

When I did that I notified people within MS to get out the word. So I know
this is true and I have done it myself. I will ask MS about getting
something official about this on their website (or if it is already there I
will find out where it is).
