Crystal Reports Date Parameter format

Question

I have a date parameter in my report, which pulls data based on a date in the report which is formatted mm/dd/yyyy. However when the parameter prompts for an input, the parameter requests the date in yyyy-mm-dd.

When entered, data is still correctly shown, however for the user I'd prefer the parameter to be shown mm/dd/yyyy.

How do I change how the parameter date formatting?

Answer 1

All date Parameter from your Crystal Report must set as string format.

Do not rely on date itself

for example you have a date in your query something like:

20190322 your parameter must looks like this so that it will match when passing it.
