Are Start Date and End Date going to be variables that you select or are they existing in a table? What field are you comparing them to on a table?

Here's my reply

The dates are a part of a table..
This Db , has entires where , people enter the "start date" and "end date" of the group of people that they train,and they data goes into a table.
So i want the report to pull records of all the training batches that started from a start date to and end date .
Thanks for trying to help.

You need to create a query that queries your table and base your report on the query. In your query you need to use parameters on your start date and end date which are entered when the report is run.

In the query under start date enter >= [Enter Start Date] and under end date enter <=[Enter End Date]. These will appear as prompts when you run the report.

Hope this helps.

I guess that wud help , however will it pick up all the dates within that range ?
for example...
Say if a training batch started on 1st Jan(Start date) ended on 20th Jan(end date) ,
When the user enters the dates 1 jan , and 30 jan in the Reports prompt , will he see these entries ?

Yes it would select all records within the date range specified, i.e. any training batch that started 1st Jan and completed upto 30th Jan.

I am needing to do the same thing pretty much, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a form with a view all and view by date (coupled with two text boxes to insert the desired dates) - I have the VB script already setup for the command button to differentiate between the two choices.

What I am needing is how to write the query using the date field in my table, so that I can get it to pull the information from those desired dates.
