I need to be able to enter a date and have the cooresponding information come up into the reports so i can print it. Any ideas?
 
The most basic way, is to create a query with everything you need. In the criteria row of the date field of your choice, put this:

=[Enter Date] OR
Between [Start Date] AND [End Date]

Now build your report based on this query, and when you run it, it will ask you for the date(s). Jim Lunde

Do you want to incorporate the parameter response into the report title? This is really easy: Just include the "[Enter the parameter]" statement in the control source of a textbox on the report.

[tt]ControlSource = "Report shows data from " & [Enter the beginning date]& " to " & [Enter end date][/tt]

This comes from a Help section Title: "Print the criteria for a report in the report header" (Sometimes it's so blasted difficult to find the right Help section with searches).
