AHHHH I see what you were talking about Dan.
Disregard my last statement/inquiry everyone, I got my code working now. My Prompt @variables' SQL code was not configured properly to work with the "Like" constant so I modified my main SQL code to be this:
==================================================================================
Select Distinct dbo.v_R_System.Netbios_Name0, dbo.v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName0, dbo.v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.Version0, dbo.v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.Publisher0
FROM dbo.v_R_System
Join dbo.v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS On dbo.v_R_System.ResourceID = dbo.v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.ResourceID
Where dbo.v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.Publisher0 Like @Publisher Or dbo.v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName0 Like @DisplayName Or dbo.v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.Version0 Like @VersionOrder by dbo.v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName0 ASC
==================================================================================
Then I had to modify my Prompt SQL code to use the Begin, If, Else, and End statements. I will pick just my @Publisher variable Prompt SQL code since all of my Prompt @variables' SQL code are basically identical.
Here is the SQL code for my Publisher (@Publisher) Prompt:
==================================================================================
Begin
If(@__filterwildcard = '')
Select Distinct Publisher0
From v_Add_Remove_Programs Order By Publisher0
Else
Select Distinct Publisher0
From v_Add_Remove_Programs
Where Publisher0 Like @__filterwildcard
Order By Publisher0
End
==================================================================================
The code I used before for my Prompt @variables was like this which did not work with the "Like" constant in my main SQL code:
==================================================================================
Select Distinct Publisher0
From v_Add_Remove_Programs Order By Publisher0
Where Publisher0 Like @__filterwildcard
Order By Publisher0
==================================================================================
So, apparently using the Begin, If, Else, and End statements allowed for more logic in this query process, therefore allowing me to use the "Like" constant in my main SQL code for the report.
