Having user define a report criteria

[Mixer1]

Please remind me:

I have a query based on a table. The query shows Name, DateofrRecord, Purpose

How do I create a report based on this query . . .but the user needs to
input a specific purpose and the report prints only that info.

I know I can do it with an itervening form where then information chosen is
then passed onto a report . . .

But I know there's a quick way of requiring the user to type in the
particular purpose the report is to be beased on . . . .by only modifying
this report or it's underlying query.

Am I all messed up here? Again, I DON'T want to have to create aintervening
form to narrow down the results.

You could use a parameter query, but frankly, I much prefer the extra
control that I get using my own form.
