Report parameters problem!

[fhs]

In previous posts, I have received tremendous assistance from the forum (especially Bob Larson) with respect to generating a report with parameters. Recently, the user imposed an additional requirement, requesting that the specified dates (from the parameters) be inserted into the report header (reasonable but not anticipated). The initial parameters came from a query. After reading other posts I realized that I should have a form for the parameters. I then consulted the BTAB Development site for a "sample" parameter form and I've tried to incorporate this form into the app, but now the report is missing data. I hope I haven't screwed this up too badly. Here are the problems: I need the parameter form to close after the Print Report button is clicked, I need the report query to give me all the selected records, and I need the report to show the selected parameter dates in the report header. HELP PLEASE! Nothing but CHALLENGES here! Thanks...

Which form are we talking about here?

The central form in the app is "frmClock-InClock-Out." The date parameter form is "frmReportDatesToo." The resulting report is "Employee Time Report."

Here you go.

I think you may have returned the wrong file. The Zip file and originally enclosed in this post was Clock-In Clock-Out EXPERIMENTAL.accdb. Is that the one you looked at?

It does work! It works GREAT! - until I print the report. The date parameters appear on the screen, but when I print the report I get #NAME? in each text field. Hazard a guess about that. Otherwise, this really meets the user's expectations - for now. Thanks Bob. Lemme know if you have a idea about #NAME?

Strange - it works for me. You aren't closing the parameters form until AFTER the print, are you?

You nailed it! Great job! Thanks so much for your insights.
