Date Parameter Procedure

I am trying to create a Parameter for entering a Date Range for a report,
here is what I think the syntax should look like, but it is wrong;
"Create Procedure procAccrual Aging
as
Select Distinct Receiptdate
from pop30310
where (pop30310.receiptdate between @.BeginDate and @.EndDate)"
As you seen, I am trying to create a beginning and ending range parameter.
Thank you,

If I'm understanding you correctly, you will want to create your
stored procedure for your report like this:
Create Procedure procAccrual Aging
@.BeginDate DATETIME,
@.EndDate DATETIME
as
Select Distinct Receiptdate
from pop30310
where (pop30310.receiptdate between @.BeginDate and @.EndDate)
Then have the @.BeginDate and @.EndDate report parameters based on a
standard calendar datetime control (default for datetime parameters).
Then in the Data view, where you define the dataset for the stored
procedure procAccrual Aging then in the Parameters tab of the Edit
Dataset [...] section, select the report parameters. Hope this helps.

The procedure works now, but when I preview the report and enter a range,
the data still spits out the same. Is there some linking that needs to be
done?
Thanks,

I'm assuming you are addressing me. Have you linked the parameters
that the stored procedure is expecting in the Data tab view with the
report parameters? You would check this via selecting the dataset that
references the stored procedure in the Data view, select the [...]
button to the right of the dataset, for Edit dataset, then select the
Parameters tab and set/verify that @.BeginDate, @.EndDate have the
correct Report parameters associated with them. The values should be
whatever your report parameters are named (i.e., Parameters!
BeginDate.Value and Parameters!EndDate.Value). Hope this clarifies
things for you.

Glad I could be of assistance. Thanks for the offer, however, I'm not
much into drinking.
