You can create a parameterized report with ActiveReports and provide an "All" choice for users who want to see all of the data as well as the ability to select multiple values for those who want to see data for several items.

This walkthrough illustrates how to create a report with multivalue parameters and an option to select all of the data.

The walkthrough is split up into the following activities:

Note:
  • This walkthrough uses the Movie table from the Reels database. By default, in ActiveReports, the Reels.mdb file is located in the [User Documents folder]\GrapeCity Samples\ActiveReports 9\Data folder.
  • Although this walkthrough uses Page reports, but this can be implemented using RDL reports also.

When you complete this walkthrough you get a layout that looks similar to the following at design time and at runtime.
