    Filtered Report - How to Record Filter Details on Report Page

    I have a table of shipping records. I want to be able to run a report that lists only the shipments between a specific set of dates so I have created a query with the criteria >=[Start Date] And <=[End Date] then added [Start Date] and [End Date] as parameters. Now I can run the query and enter the dates I want to see a limited selection of shipments - so far, so good.

    I then created a report to show the dates within a selected timeframe, however I would like that the start and end dates are somehow automatically displayed on the report - is that possible? Thanks!

    Yes it's fairly easy to do.
    Create a string public variable or tempvar.
    In your form, when you select the start / end dates, build your string as something like
    Code:
    strDates ="Between #" & [StartDate] & "# And #" & [EndDate] & "#"
    Next create a function in a module

    Code:
    Function GetDates()
        GetDates=strDates
    End Function
    Now set a textbox on your report equal to GetDates.

    I think all you need is a textbox on the report:

    ="Between " & [StartDate] & " And " & [EndDate]

    As long as the prompts exactly match the criteria in the query, you shouldn't get prompted twice.

    Hi Paul,

    You may well be right that a simple approach will work fine
    The only reason I suggested the more convoluted way is if the form is closed when the report is opened.
    If so, sometimes the simple method fails as the values may not be in memory

    What form? The query uses bracketed parameters.
