Psweigert Habitat for Humanity

I have a basic form set up that I input donations to our non for profit. I
have a feild for a "Pickup Date". I want to create a report that would
include only the donations to be picked up that day, and maybe a seprate
report that shows what pickups we have for the week. I have a report now that
listes everything sorted by date. I would like to be able to just get that
days information.
Thanks

One way to do this would be to use a query that points to the form to get
its selection criteria, using something like:

Forms!YourFormName!YourControlName

under the date/time field (?[PickupDate]?).

.... and then base the report on that query.

The query wizard works well to provide an "outline", but you may need to
open the resulting query in design view to customize it.

(I say "may" because I just build them from scratch, and don't use the
wizard much...)

Good Luck!
