How to select records based on user selected criteria

Hi,
Love the new graphs and reports in PHPRunner 4.0. My users have been very impressed with the ability to review data in attractive graphical form. And I have been impressed with how easy it is to set those graphs up. A bit of SQL work and there it is. <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=question&id=5126&image=1&table=forumtopics' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />
Now, a quick question...I'm probably missing the obvious way to do this....
I want to let users select the records to view based on criteria that they select. For example let's say they want to see a list (or graph) of sales that occur in the month of November 2006. Or May 2005. Or whatever month they had in mind.
I have edited the SQL Query (of a graph or table) at the appropriate step to select the current month. And had a seperate graph (or table) to look at the previous month. That works fine for these 2 months but it's not a practical solution for every month.
Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Giles.

We'll add an Advanced search page to charts in the next update of PHPRunner 4.0

In PHPR4 build 241 there is an advanced search for chart, but it is not possible to modify it.

Let's say that my chart is based on table My_Table.

In PHPR's table list I can see "My_Table" and also "My_Table Chart".

I suggest for next build (or release) that PHPR gives user the ability to use the advanced search already existing for the table "My_Table".

nemobile,
what do you mean "is not possible to modify it".
You can modify chart search page exactly the same way you modify regular serch page.
