Firstly, I am an extreme rookie when it comes to access. I have developed a report(revenue information) and sub-form(expense information). My expense total is correct but I want this number to appear on the revenue/expense summary along with revenue information in the parent report. I have the revenue report pulling the number from the sub-form but when I run the report/sub-report the expense number is adding all the expenses not just in a date range that I specify for the report. I am a bit confused as I need a date range for the revenue information which is working and then I have applied the same date range to the expense information and then I have a qry to calculate correct totals for both reports and I have a date range here. Obviously, doing something not right nor efficient if I have to have a user input 3 date ranges. I would appreciate it if you could steer me to lessons or seminars that might assist with direction on how to apply one date range criteria to multiple tables/queries. I have a revenue table and expense table. I need to have the date criteria (user input) apply to both tables/qrys. Any assistance is appreciated. Hopefully this makes some sense. Regards, Jim

The key here is to input your dates once and then use the same dates to run each report...
What you are looking for is shown in the Value From a Form video.
Richard also gives a good example of using the same dates in the Archive Records
If you don't know how to use a Parameter Query watch that one first.
Give it a shot and see what you can accomplish. If you have problems come on back and we'll work through individual issues.
