For a user of RS2000 but a non-programmer

Can someone tell me how to utilize the new calendar control in 2005. do i
have it right that it is supposed to give me a pop-up to choose a date from?
I have looked all over the msdn and the newsgroup here and havent found
anything real definitive. it could very well be that i dont know what im
looking for. i found learning the reporting service to be fairly intuitive
and well documented enough to do basic reporting with little programming.
so im wondering since i cant find out how to do this if it is because it
requires a code-behind. if it does could you point me to the docs on how.
i may be able to trudge through it with my limited programming knowledge.
TIA for any help.
MattWhat is most likely happening is that your parameter is defined as text, not
as a date/time. If date/time it automatically shows up. In layout mode,
Report menu, Report Parameters. Click on the parameter and change to
date/time.
