I solve that issue by creating a form that has unbound start/end dates where the user puts in the filters wanted, and then the report or query is based on those fields and can be run right from the form. Then in the query design grid on the date field I use (replacing with your form/field names): Between [Forms]![home]![StartDate] And [Forms]![home]![EndDate] I'm sure there are other ways, probably more efficient, but this one allows me to enter the dates one time and run any report or query that uses the filter. You can place a print or preview report button right on your form or whatever suits the need. Pruscoe@xxxxxxx Sent by: mso-bounce@freelists.

I can see where I can insert a filter in the report properties, but I want to be prompted to enter the information ("Date From," "Date To") at the time I run the report. ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, visit the group's homepage and use the dropdown menu at the top.
