    Between Dates Report Problem

    I am generating a report which looks up the sales between dates. the report is generating perfectly ok.

    what i want is that this report should show the first and the last date i input. i dont know how to do that.
    eg. From Date 01-Jan-2009 To 30-June-2009




    the querry i am running has a criteria set on Transaction Date
    Between [Enter Starting Sales Date MM/DD/YY] And [Enter Ending Sales Date MM/DD/YY]

    Regards
    Aamer

    All DateTime fields have a Time component, even if it is set to midnight (.00). To make sure you get all of the last day you should add one day to that value to it will actually be set to midnight of the next day.

    i think u did not understand my problem

    see when i clik to generate the report it ask me, the the first and the last date period.

    now when the report is printed on the top margin i want it to show the starting date and the ending date.

    as this report is generating the totals of items sold in a perticular period. At present I have to write on each page the Staring & End Date. so in future I know what period this report was for.

    Please see report sample attached.

    Sorry, I did not understand your problem correctly. How are you invoking the report? Do you do it from a Form?

    You've used the wrong syntax. Your expression is:

    Between [Enter Starting Sales Date MM/DD/YY] And [Enter Ending Sales Date MM/DD/YY] That will require you to input the date parameters into the query.

    Instead, create a form field with the dates on it and draw from there. Between [Forms]![MyForm]![Date1] And [Forms]![MyForm]![Date2]. Everything is the same, except that you're inputting the date data in a form, and that in turn can be drawn into the report.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
