Printing Query Promt Parameters in a report

[vegman]

I have a QUERY in Access 2003 that promts the user for a START and END date.
Is there a way to display the inputed START and END date from the QUERY in a
REPORT without having to retype it in the report?

Let's assume the exact query prompt is [Start Date] and [End Date]

Add an unbound text control to the Report Header.
Set it's control source to:
="For Sales between " & [Start Date] & " and " & [End Date]

The above text within the brackets must be identical to the bracketed
text in the query.

Another way is to add them as a 'calculated' field. In design view grid
blank in FIELD row copy and paste parameter to look like this --
Parm1: [Start Date]
Parm2: [End Date]
or
Pram1: "For Sales between " & [Start Date] & " and " & [End Date]

Use Parm1 and Parm2 or the second Parm1 in your report.
