Parameters in Blank Reports

[Guest]

I made a report that returns data based on two parameters - a [Begin Date] and an [End Date]. The parameters are in the criteria of a [Date] field like this: >=[Begin Date] And <=[End Date]. In my report header I have two text fields that also have [Begin Date] and [End Date] as the control source so that when rows are returned, the date range is printed on the report

However, when the query the report is based on returns no rows, the parameters are not passed to the text fields, and the text fields do not show the dates. Is there a way to capture the parameters and pass them on to the report so that even a blank report has the date range

Use a form to gather the parameters. Then se the conditions to reference
the form controls.
