Is there a way to have the date range selection criteria print on 
the report?

Tom - others have indicated sort/selection processing and some 
good ideas related to speeding up your reports using lookup dash 
(which is probably indicated for your application since you are 
reporting for a recent period of time and as time goes by your 
report will take longer and longer to run as it reads through all 
your history of records), but to just satisfy your question, you 
should have:

1. a sort/selection table where you ask the user begin/end dates - 
declared globally.

2. an automatic table that declares the same begin and end date 
dummy fields (bd and ed - this allows other processing tables to 
see the values that were set for those fields in the 
sort/selection table).

3. in your current output table, also declare the same date 
fields.

4. use the same dummy fields on your form.
