Start again...

Create an unbound form (an unbound form does NOT have a recordsource).

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.
