date parameter in textbox

Hello,
I have two parameter one for Begindate and EndDate.
I was wondering how I can reference these two parameters so that it shows up
in a textbox.
I was hoping to have the textbox with the begin date and end date so that
when users print out the report they know that it is between those two
dates.
TIA,
JacksonHello:
I have done the following and I am not sure if thi8s method is for you or
not - but:
I included an additional line in my detail headers - that reference the
parameters passed for execution of the application.
You can define within the text boxes - the !Parameters passed - and define
as a field element - but just for the headings
Not sure if I was clear enough -
Warm regards,

Do you have the syntax for referencing the parameters?
If I had an parameter called begindate. would I type
Parameters!begindate.value or something like that?
Thanks again for the help,

the expression editor. Right click on the textbox (or cell), select
Expression. You will be able to select the parameter you want to show. Note
that the name of your parameter is case sensitive. Also, sometimes you might
want the lable, not the value. If so then replace .value with .label (label
is not a choice with the expression builder).
