I have an Access 2003 report that needs to request a date value from
the user whenever it is opened. This date value does not have to be
saved in the database, but it does need to display in the report.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

What do you plan on doing with the date value? You can add a text box to
your report with a control source like:
 =[Enter a date value]

Thanks Duane - I tried this and I keep getting #Error on the report.
There must be something simple I'm missing?

The only thing I need to do with the date value is display it on the
report (no calculations are done with this date value). Thanks for your
help.

Regards
Phil Horwood

Does your report have a record source that returns any records?

Yes, the report's Record Source is a query.

Did you make sure the Name of the text box is not also the name of a field
or parameter?
