Hi Ashley
here's some notes i wrote on a similar question where the query was used as
the source for a report as well:
the way i do it is
1. create the query that i want
2. use the report wizard to build a report based on the query
3. create the "report options" form - ensuring that i name each control
something easy to find later (ie if its the start date that i want i name
the control startdate) - close & save form
4. return to the query, click in the criteria line of the field that i
need to reference the control on the form
5. click on the expression builder icon on the toolbar
6. go to forms / all forms / find my "report options" form, in the centre
section double click on the form control that i am using as the criteria
do this for all of the criteria that i'm setting
7. close & save query
8. return to the form & put a command button on it to open the report in
print preview mode - close & save form
9. open form, set criteria, click print button
hope this helps (if you're not interested in using it in a report then
ignore steps 2 & 8)
Cheers
