Populate drop down input box with DB field values?

I want to set up a drop down input box on a report for a customer to select an available sales date from the database where I want the value of each available date in the database to appear in the drop down selector as one per row.

On the constraints tab I have the following setup:

Input Constraints = Predefined Values Only -- nothing else is selected or checked.

Value List = Predefined Values in Drop-down -- nothing else is selected or checked.

Predefined Values has the listed box checked with the following formula (-- nothing else is selected or checked):

=Concat( {1} DISTINCT SALES_DATE, chr(10) & chr(13) , SALES_DATE )

This doesn't work and wants to give a linear list of the SALES_DATE field. I want the list to place one date per line of the drop down input box.

Any help?

Any reason you would know why the text box allows an initial selection of a date, but will not allow it to be changed afterwards?
