"The value for the report parameter XXX is not valid for its type"
I have a report (RS 2005) that has 2 date parameters, "start" and "end".
My SQL in not very complicated at all, I have a simple WHERE date between @.start and @.end
But when I go to view the report in VS2005, I get the above error.
I am yet to find a decent fix for this, what is going on? the date I am trying is:
"26/02/2007" now, obviously its trying to us the en-US formatting, but im in Australia, so I want en-AU.
I have changed my report Language setting to be en-AU, my local settings in Region Setting is English (Australia). (BTW, I had to change the Language setting in my report through the XML, is there a better way to do this?)
How do I fix this? I have searched an searched but no-one seems to be able to give a clear answer as to what is going on....
Hi,
I think the date/time picker sends the datetime parameter to the SQL query on the server using the regional settings of the client PC, and not the server settings. Then, the server will try to interpret this date using the server Regional Options. Can you specify both Regional Options of client and Reporting Server? If what I'm saying doesn't make sense, please let me know... Because I have users with different local settings, I have not been able to use the datetime picker, because I don't know in advance in what format I will receive it in my query...

|||I do know what you are saying. Thanks for that, it is what I assumed. I wonder why Microsoft did it this way? Surely it should be on a report by report basis...I did however install the SP2 for SQL 2005 last night and it seemed to fix my problem with my regional settings. Now the datepicker works like it should. But I dont know if it was simply because I had to restart my PC for the update, or not.
Who knows, but either way I am going to have to manipulate the Reporting Servers regional settings. Unless they are already correct (which I am hoping they are).
Thanks for the tips
