I know I should know how to make this work, but it continues to allude me. How do I use an ActiveX control DTPicker to chose a date then use the values to query for a report. I would like to assign it also to an unbound text box.

This should do it for you:

Set the DTPicker to the current system date when the form opens:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim varDate
varDate = Date
Me!ActiveXCtl0.Value = varDate
End Sub

Update the text box to the selected date in theDTPicker :
Private Sub ActiveXCtl0_Change()
Me!TheTextBoxName = Me!ActiveXCtl0.Value
End Sub

Obviously, change ActiveXCtl0 to your DTPicker control name and TheTextBoxName to your text box or control name.
