Hi all
been struggling with this one all morning could do with a list help
I am using CR XI rel 2
I have 2 tables
Table one - AUDIT_LOG
PositionIdDateTimeStatCode
Table two - POSITION
PositionIdSiteID
Table Three - SiteID
SiteIDNameTownPostCode
I would like to have a user type in a start date and an end date and then the report will return, records from the Position table, where the PositionID does not appear in the Audit Log. I can establish who has not got an entry for the entire table but I now want a snapshot for a period typed in by the user.
This is the SQL used when I added a command from database expert
SELECT distinct POSITION.ID, POSITION.SITE_ID, SITE.NAME,AUDIT_LOG.DATETIMEFROM SITE INNER JOIN (POSITION LEFT outer JOIN AUDIT_LOG ON POSITION.ID = AUDIT_LOG.POSITION_ID) ON SITE.ID = POSITION.SITE_IDWHERE (((AUDIT_LOG.POSITION_ID) Is Null))
Current Output10/09/2007                                ID                        SITE_ID                   NAMEAndy Arms                               4                          AB120002                Andy Arms                              103                       AB120002                Andy Arms                              3                          AB120002                Andy Arms                              104                      AB120002                Andy ArmsCharter Court                               2                        120001                     Charter Court                              101                     120001                     Charter Court                              102                     120001                     Charter Court

you need to create 2 command parameters:  start_date_from and start_date_to then add to your where clause:and datetime >=  {?start_date_from}and datetime <= {?start_date_to}
