I have a crystal report I run weekly and manually update the dates to pull the last 7 days (not including today). I've tried to use 'in last7days' and/or {date} >= minimum(lastfullweek) + 1 and {date} <= maximum(lastfullweek) + 1. I can't get this query to run - I get an error saying a string is required here. My date format is yyyy-mm-dd. I need to update this report to run automatically - I don't want to run the report by manually updating the date range every week. Thanks in advance for your help!

You are probably comparing a string to a date. Check the data types of the elements in your expression. Most likely your {date} column is a string rather than a date.
See if you can convert it to a date (e.g. the cDate() function).
Try R-Tag Community Edition. It is free and has the option to set the dates and other values outside the report so you don't have to hardcode them inside the report.
