Or send me in another direction on getting user input in a parameterized view.

Thanks Cetin you led me in the right direction I used what was above, but when entering the fiscal year 99 or 98 it was being interpreted as a numeric, so I changed it to:

prcFiscalYear LIKE "%"+ALLTRIM(STR(?'Fiscal Year (e.g. 97,98,..)'))+"%"

And now it works like a charm.
Thanks again.
