Drop Down Box with edit/input by user

We have a report which is based on Schemes which have pre-defined
start and end dates. I have set up report parameters which are queried
and
the user can select these pre-determined values.. (The user choose a
"Scheme" and both dates are set).
However, there are occasions when the users want to enter a date other
than
one of these values.( by the date control). This I cant get RS to do?
How can I best achieve this switch from selection of a value in a drop
down
list to typing in a value in a text box. If the parameter is queried, a
drop
down list is displayed and the user cannot type in a value. There is no
option to use a "Combo" box and use the display value.
Any help appreciated.
