How do I request the user type a date for a report date?

[khughes46]

I have several reports requiring a date that may not be the current date. How do I get the user to enter the date and only have the user do it one time for several reports? I am at a loss on how to do this. Any help will be appreciated. I know there has to be a way. Thanks.

Have the user enter the date on a form, and have the reports/queries get it from there.

I realize I could make the user enter dates on a form linked to a table, but isn't there a way to have the date entered at print time?

I wouldn't typically use a form linked to a table, I'd use an unbound form just used to enter criteria for reports. You can use the brackets method that you probably already are, but as you've seen the criteria has to be entered for each report.

Thanks for the suggestions.

No problem. Most professionals use a form to gather user input, so I think you'll be happy with it in the long run.
