Can I set up a report so that it will show only one client instead of all 180
of them?

Let me restate, can I set up a filter for a report so that it will show the
report for a specified customer or date range, etc.

I don't think this way will work with the way things are set up.

However, I did try setting parameters for the query that the report is based
on so that the user will be promted to enter criteria (such as a last name)
to generate the report. In the query I have it set up so that the criteria
under the last name column looks like this [Enter Client's Last Name] and I
have the same in the first name column. When I go to run the report, I am
promted to enter the first and last name, but the entire client list is still
coming up. please advise.

Please provide the SQL view of your report's Record Source.

View the report properties and find the Record Source property. You should
be able to go to the design view of the Record Source and View->SQL view.
Copy this and paste it in a reply.
