Hello,

 

I would like to know also if it is possible to create a combobox as a parameter so that the user can choose from a selected list of options when running a report.

 

I am starting to learn about JasperReports and iReport so currently I don't know much.

 

Thanks

Guys,

 

IReport is a design tool for pdf/html etc reports produced by JasperReports. it is not an interface for entering data. If you want to perform some sort of selection process then you will need a web/apllication interface. There are many options for this type of interface, common in java being servlets. But since Jasper and ireport use java, so this interface must be written in java aswell.

 

If your project is not using the internet, then you must write a stand alone application in Java using swing controls, or some other "visual" java tools. iReport itself is a stand alone written in java.

 

luck
