IMO, your users should never be hit with parameter prompts. Consider using
controls on forms for all user interaction. You can then reference the
controls in text boxes on your report:
Control Source: =Forms!frmRptCrit!txtFromDate

Hi,

how can I get the parameters to print on a report so the reader knows what
dates that information covers without having to enter the dates twice?

Thanks!
