Report Builder Tutorial: Using Input Parameters

I am working on a series of short Breeze (and Captivate) based tutorials on the new ColdFusion Report Builder. The first on Using Input Parameters is now online. Next one will be on charting. If you have suggestions for future topics, let me know.

    The first one looks great. These can go very far. Its too bad you couldn’t get them listed as links in your CF WACK book at the end of each related chapter.
    Will there be a section on your site listing all of these?

    Very cool! Looks like a Macromedia mark of excellence. Awesome CF with reporting, clean demo on Breeze with Captivate. Now that’s showing off some good products!

    Hi Ben
    Just wondering if you ever produced your Breeze tutorial on Charting with the ColdFusion Report Builder? I’m trying to create some charts and a tutorial like your "Using Input Parameters" one would be very helpful.
    Thanks

    Just wondering if you have had any chance to create more notes on ReportBuilder. I have been using it for a while, and have run into a snag. I am trying to use the valueList function in the report builder expression builder. I constantly get an error stating that the referenced column is not part of the query. This appears to be a bug, but I can no longer locate a bug report for CF. Basically, it is near impossible to locate ANY info on the reportBuilder. Is this a documented bug? If so, is there some trick we can use to convert a field for a group of records into a comma delimited list?
    Any help would be majorly appreciated. I have seen this problem posted on several forums, but never a response, or resolution to it.

    Would any body out there now how to display a very long text in the Cold Fusion Report Builder.
    I have created a simple report that needs the display long comments in it and for what ever reason the comments get cut off at a certain length
    The field comming from the database is a text field which has a lots of space to it. But when i run the report the entire text string doesnt come out.

    I use ColdFusion Report Builder a lot, but I can’t figure out how to group by month, so I can then create monthly totals. I would love some help with this.
