Hi:

I have a main report with 8 subreports. Each subreport has a "date field".
I
want to filter the records based on this "date field". What I want to do
is
to aks the user "on time"to input the "date" ans pass this information to
the
8 subreports.

I can use the parameters but only with each individual subreport. What I
have tried is the following:

In each subreport, on the "recordsource", on the "Datefield", "selection
criteria" I wrote "Between Date1 AND date2". The report ask for the date
parameters but only in the corresponding subreport. I don´t want the user
to
input 8 times the date for each subreport.

I can not write the same critera on the main report since each subreport
use
different tables.

Any idea about how to do it?

Saludos!
