Can the user write some info on the report?

[Kyriaki]

Hello

I have a report and the users want to write on their own a period range they
want on that report. They do not want to save that info. Just when the report
open to ask them enter that period and just appear on the report and print
it. Or to be a place on the report you can write this period range. Just this.
How can I do that??
Is there any other way that I can do it?

Thanks a lot
Kyriaki

You didn't say anything about filtering the report to a period range (a bit
unusual) so all you need is a text box in the report with a control source
like:
=[Enter your own information that won't be saved]

Hello
I tried what you said to me but it doesn't work. I create a text box on the
report detail section and in the control source I wrote:
=[Please Enter Date]
But the report opens without asking the user to enter anything
Please help me
Thanks

My solution required the report to have a record source with at least one
record.

create a query with the fields then do

Between [Start Date] & [End Date] <---- in the criteria line for the
date field in the query.

then base the report off this query, it will return all the field data that
falls within the inputted date range.
