Big,

In design view of the query, in the Field row of a blank column of the
query design grid, enter a calculated field similar to this:
MyYear: Year([NameOfYourDateField])

Then, in the Criteria of this column, enter whatever it is that relates
to your "user chooses". For example, if the user is entering the
required year in a textbox on a form, the Criteria would be like this:
[Forms]![NameOfTheForm]![NameOfTheTextbox]
