How do I copy the date range off the find request?. and how do I paste it into a global field? I assume you mean that I would create a brand new field that would be = "global" (in terms of field type)?
So, I'd create "Date Range" as the field name and indicate "global" when I create it, right? And, then, I'd paste the find request (date) into this field?
Let me know...thanks a bunch!
(since a few of us will be running these, and tracking what has been done when, it will be extreamly useful to have the selection criteria for dates show up directly on the report...)
thanks!!

Subject: [support] Re: Deposit Reports
We're starting to run deposit reports as a way to help us write personal thank you (follow-up) calls. But, since we don't do data entry everyday, we need to have, on the report, the date range that was entered when running the report.
How do I do this? All I can find is post date, which doesn't collect the date range that was entered.
I presume that you mean that you need the date range to show up on the printed report, not just in the search criteria. That will require some customization. An easy way would be to create summary fields BeginDate to be the minimum of the post dates in the report, and EndDate to be the maximum of the post dates. This is pretty easy, but you should note that this wouldn't give you the dates you searched, but the dates that actually showed up.
To put the range searched into a header, you'd need to create a script (or modify the deposit report script) to present a layout where the date range is copied off the find request and pasted into a global field. Place the field on the report layout.
Of course, the easiest solution would be to write the date range on the report.
