How do you get a date range to display months?

I would like my user to enter the month instead of date numbers. How can I use a form to create the range for the query? I want the title to display the month, but the query to use the date range

Thank you

What would you do about the day of the month and year? You could set the
criteria to:
Between DateValue(Year(Date()), Forms!frmA!cboStartMth, 1) and
DateValue(Year(Date()), Forms!frmA!cboEndMth +1,0)

I did not think about the year... Bummer.

So if I am going to just use the current year, your formula will work? So I do not have to put a start and end date, and just ask the user for the month

Then I just put the value in the title and it will put the month instead of date right??

I would use combo boxes on the form to drop down a list of month numbers and
names. You can reference the combo boxes in a report just like you would in
a query.
