    Creating a simple filter

    I have never put a filter in a report before so bear with me...

    I need the report to a show a document if:



    1. today's date - document issue date >= 14 days

    2. Approval CHECK BOX is unchecked

    No idea what to type in in the filter text box... help help help!

    Depending on how you want to do it, you could use this technique as you open the report:

    BaldyWeb wherecondition

    or base the report on a query that contained those criteria. If you want to type something into the filter textbox, we can figure that out too. It's not the way I would go because it relies on the user to know how/what to type in.

    I gotta do it that way... Here is what I have typed in there right now

    Now() - [Revision_Actual_Date] >= 14

    This will show documents that a revision date older than or equal to 2 weeks, but I need a second filter because in addition to that, the check box called Customer_Approved must be UNCHECKED.

    What should I type in for that? Thanks!

    Now() - [Revision_Actual_Date] >= 14 AND Customer_Approved = False

    or

    Now() - [Revision_Actual_Date] >= 14 AND Customer_Approved <> True
