Am I missing something or is a report class that can't call a form to get user parameters to run query's pointless?

I need 99% of the time to run a report based on user entered criteria and the only way I can think of doing this is with a form that then calls a report to report on the resulting query.

I understand objectifying code ( I coded in C++ v 1.0 from Zortech!!) but ...

Thanks,
Jon
