You write, or hire someone to write, VBA code that uses the contents of the
different option groups and multi-select list boxes to build either a
WhereCondition argument for DoCmd.OpenReport or the SQL that you pick up in
the Report's Open event to replace the RecordSource. If you have a lot of
records, the second approach may improve performance.

In your code, if nothing is selected, use them all.

Nice picture... is it a screen shot of the Form you designed, or did you go
to the trouble of creating a Form design in some image-processing software?

You didn't really expect someone to write all the code here, did you? Even
if they wanted to, the picture of the Form doesn't give them the names of
the Controls to use in that code, nor does the description. I don't think
it's worth your while to post them in a follow-up, though, because that may
be a little much to ask in a newsgroup post.
