The form is not supposed to close until the report is closed.
You can adapt the following method.
Create an unbound form.
Also add 2 unbound text controls.
Set their format to a valid date format.
Name them "StartDate" and "EndDate"
Add a Command Button to the form.
Code the button's click event:
Me.Visible = False
Name this form 'ParamForm'
As criteria in the query date field write:
Between forms!Paramform!StartDate and forms!ParamForm!EndDate
Next, code the report's Open event:
DoCmd.OpenForm "ParamForm", , , , , acDialog
Code the report's Close event:
DoCmd.Close acForm, "ParamForm"
When ready to run the report, open the report.
The form will open and wait for the entry of the starting and ending
dates wanted.
Click the command button and then report will run.
When the report closes, it will close the form.
