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.
