This can be probably done by javascript.

Hi Barry,
It wasn't very clear what you need to do.
1. If you want to set the default value of the prompts (Like, in a prompt page) you'll need a script for that. Let me know if you're using 10.2+ or an earlier version and I'll hook you up with a script.
2. If you want that when the report runs initially (There's no prompt page) it will run for a certain date, the technique is different whether you're on dimensional or relational.
3. If you want to limit the date prompts' range, use the method offered by Hukumaram...

I read that as wanting to limit the dates that are available in the prompt, so that the user can only select to run the report between Jan 2012 and Oct 2012. If that's the case, there are properties that you can set for the From prompt and the To prompt. If you click on the prompt and look in the properties panel on the left hand side you should see a First Date property and a last Date property.

[Date] between ?from-date?   and  ?To-date?

Hi Gurus, Thanks for the help, Sorry  I wasn't able to provide detail info. The filter
[Date] between ?from-date?   and  ?To-date? did the trick. Thanks a lot again.
