Fred,

You need to design a Report Selection criteria form which would run your report.

Create a form, put two textboxes on it txtFrom and txtTo and a command button cmdRunReport (and one more for Close, if needed).

In the Init of the form put

thisform.txtTo.value = date()
thisform.txtFrom.value = gomonth(date(),-1) && One month difference

The button will run form's method RunReport

In this method you select data for your report using SELECT-SQL statement and the values from your texboxes and then run the report using REPORT FORM command and the cursor with the data.

You can access local variables in your report, so you can add selection criteria to the header of your report.

Or simply buy Stonefield Query that can do all your reports for you.
