Is it possible to show the value typed in by prompts in a document? It is not in the Variables list.

Try the UserResponse function. It takes two arguments - the Data Provider and the Prompt. Hope this helps.

Yes. If you had a prompt with the text, say, “Enter Start Date”, you can display this on your report with the following formula:

=UserResponse(DataProvider(<obj_name>),“Enter Start Date”)

where “<obj_name>” is any object name in your query.
