selection criteria

Is there a way to have multiple search criteria in a report? So that you can select records using one critera, save the search criteria and create another search that can be uploaded.

Can you provide examples of the search criteria you're looking for?

I suspect you can do it with parameters and a good record selection formula but need more detail.

I want to see a different record sets, but in the same report. The record set would be different, but the format would be the same. For example, I have a report that produces a comprehinsive set of audit data where I agree with the audit and where I think that there are errors. The report selects data based on the following criteria:

if

{qryDepreciation.TaxYear} = 2003 and

{qryAddresses.Sec/Unsec} = "secured" then

{qryDepreciation.AssrRevised} <> "STRUCT" and

{qryDepreciation.AssrRevised} <> "land impr" else if

{qryDepreciation.TaxYear} = 2003 and

{qryAddresses.Sec/Unsec} = "unsecured" then

{qryDepreciation.AssrRevised} <> "land impr"

In this particular instance, I only want to see data in 2003, excluding items when it is secured, but if it is unsecured, I want to exclude a different category.

If I want to select a different record set, but keep the same report, can I create a second selection criteria save to a file call it up so I don't have to delete the first selection criteria to get a different record set? What I am trying to do is avoid having to create multiple report files and deleting selection criteria and having to redo selection criteria.

Why not use a main report as a container report and use sub-reports to handle each different search criteria then you can use a parameter to display which sub-reports the user chooses by conditionally suppressing the sections containing the sub-reports based on the parameter value chosen by the user.
