RE: Send a parm to a query?

Mark

I have on occasion altered the object description programmatically to show
the dates; IIRC this is then print on the front page which in some
situations has been enough to satisfy requirements similar to yours.

Its not perfect but might be enough to do what you need without having to
change queries every month.
