title: SSRS - Is there a way to restrict date/time input parameters to date only? (Not report output field format.)
body: <p>I am writing an SSRS report that has several parameters including a couple of date fields. I do not want the user to be able to enter time information in either date field, but SSRS only has the Date/Time data type. Is there a way to force these report parameters to act as date only, and can I set a specific format (e.g., dd/mm/yyyy)? I would like to keep the built-in date-picker-calendar functionality.</p>
  
  <p>I do not want to write my own report parameter web page because if I did then this one report would be the odd one out given that all of our other reports (which don't use date parameters) work fine with the built-in SSRS parameter entry functionality.</p>
  
  <p>Perhaps the answer is that you can't do it with the built-in options, but that seems crazy - how could something so obvious have been overlooked?</p>
  
  <p>The Google and Stackoverflow searches I've done only gave me ways to set the format in the report <em>output</em> (actually there are a number of cases where people have asked a question similar to mine and only received answers about setting the <em>output</em> format).</p>
