where to put criteria?

For a given report I want to either print all or a single batch. I can create 2 queries with the appropriate criteria, but since the report is always the same except for record source being qryAll or qryBatch, isn't there a better way to do this than creating the same report twice with the only difference being the record source. PS. I don't know VB at all.

What's the difference between the criteria? Could you use a single
Parameter query, in which one parameter (or set of parameters) gives
you All and the other parameter value gives you Batch?

couldn't you copy the report with a 2nd name: Report .... Single, Report
.... All Base each report on its appropriate query/ Your users can then
just select the report that gives the output they want.

Yes, both of those would work, but... I am trying to not junk up my reports list with 2 reports that are practically identical. Use the criteria determine which query to run. Then 1 report generated based on query results
