Passing query user input to report body

[Question Boy]

Hello,

I set up a simple query to prompt the user for the date which is used as a
criteria.

[Enter the start date]

is there a way to pass the value entered by the user at the prompt the the
report, so I can have in the header 'report from ####/##/## to date()'?

Is there a term for what I'm trying to do? I could find anything on it
because I don't know what it is I am looking for.

Thank you,

QB

You can refer to the parameter just like a field.

Try a text box with Control Source of:
