Print requested date range on report

[Guest]

I have a report generated from a query that prompts the user to enter a date
range to obtain specific data. The criteria for the Date field is: Between
[Enter beginning date] And [Enter ending date]

Is it possible for those same dates that are entered to appear on the report
itself so they can be seen when printed? Right now, you enter the criteria
and get the data, but anyone else looking at a printed report would not know
what date range the data applied to.

You can add a text box to your report with a control source of:
="Between " & [Enter beginning date] & " And " & [Enter ending date]

I strongly recommend using controls on forms for criteria rather than
parameter prompts.

I have not used controls much. Could you please point me in the right
direction as to what to look up in Help to find out more information. Thank
you.

Open Help and search for "Text Box".
