I would like a report to work based on a selection from a list. This list should be filled from database. In your selection example it only shows with the country. I would like the user the see the country name, but the country code to be used as a parameter on the report. I know how to do it in HTML. Not sure how in KoolReports. Can anyone help?

in Html it would look like this:

<option value="124">Canada</option>
<option selected value="316">United States</option>
<option value="044">Bahamas</option>

Thanks!

Steven, you could the the Inputs package's Select, Select2 or BSelect controls. Just specify their "dataSource" and "dataBind" like this:

    Select2::create(array(
        "dataSource" => ..., //$this->dataStore("myds") or [ "displayText" => "zero", "realValue" => 0, "displayText" => "one", "realValue" => 1, ...]
        "dataBind" => array(
            "text" => "displayText",
            "value" => "realValue"
        ]

Hope this helps. Rgds,
