Calendar in parameter drop down

Hi all
Is it possiable to have a calendar drop down in a date parameter field? I
am not a programmer so be kind. This would be much easier for users than
typing in a date.
thanksThis, for me, was one of the more shocking revelations when I started
to use RS, but the answer is "no". It's pretty amazing to me that for
a tool that has so much promise, some very fundamental things like
this are lacking. In addition to the calendar control, another one
that we needed but couldn't use is a simple checkbox for a boolean.
And going a small step further, it is also surprising to realize that
you can't easily save the parameters a user enters so that they'll be
there for next time.
Still, hopefully these features are coming soon! :-)

Write your own component which has functions that can take
in user's parameters as input and write code to save those
values in the database. Add a reference to this component
in your report and call the specific function to save
user's input.
Alternatively just write an SP which takes in these
parameters and write them into a table.
About the other points , even I would like to see those
features.
