for( var i=0; i<preProcessControlArray.length; i++){
  cntlName = eval(preProcessControlArray);

   par1 = cntlName.m_oForm.value;   
   eval('pickerControl' + cntlName.m_sRef + '.lostFocus()');

....if it were me, I wouldn't do this with 2 prompts/parameters.

Use:

[my date] in_range ?p my_date?

...this will then generate the date range prompt object.

Unfortunately, it still won't stop a user from entering a "from date" that's greater than your "to date" ....but seriously, is it worth a whole load of extra code to prevent a user from doing this?

Hi Can u help in this --
help me out in knowing how to initialize a date Range prompt.

Let me explain the scenario..

I have a drill through report. I have a date range prompt in the child report assigned to a parameter say ?P1?

Now I am suppose to pass a value to this parameter ?P1?

Note:
1. I am not suppose to make any change to the child report.
2. In the parent report I have three kind of prompts:
    Two date prompts- for start date and End Date(enabled only when my time bucket selected is Daily)
    Two value prompts- For week start date and week end date ( enabled only when my time bucket selected is weekly)
    Two value prompts- for start month and end Month(enabled only when my time bucket selected is Monthly)
