Use a form to run queries on a date range - ms-access

Question

I have an MS-Access DB that pulls information in from an Excel file with 6 worksheets, so I get 6 tables. I created 7 queries, all of which make tables from the excel data, 6 of those 7 do a count of an item ie:
SELECT DISTINCT DISPLAYNAME, COUNT(DISPLAYNAME)
FROM [TXFR REC]
GROUP BY DISPLAYNAME
The 7th query pulls those 6 tables together into a sort of report table by using left joins onto one of the tables, where the connection to all the others is a DISPLAYNAME.
I have created a Form with 4 buttons and two date boxes, a start date and an end date. What I want to do is the following:
Choose Start Date
Choose End Date
Press Button that runs the 7 queries in the order I specified by invoking the date range from steps 1 and 2 ** THIS IS WHERE I AM STUCK: I do not know how to force this date range on the queries **
Run the report
Export the report
Close the form
The date boxes are set to General Date and the method used for them is GetDates so you just click in the box and the calendar pops up and you choose your date.
I did see this post here but am not following to well:
Date Range Form
Here is the text from a test query as suggested by a user and in the format suggested by the answering person:
SELECT [NO ADMITTING DX (HEALTH ISSUE)].PHYSICIANDISPLAYNAME, Count([NO ADMITTING DX (HEALTH ISSUE)].PHYSICIANDISPLAYNAME) AS CountOfPHYSICIANDISPLAYNAME INTO NO_ADMIT_DX_COUNT
FROM [NO ADMITTING DX (HEALTH ISSUE)]
WHERE ((([NO ADMITTING DX (HEALTH ISSUE)].PHYSICIANDISPLAYNAME) Is Not Null) And (([NO ADMITTING DX (HEALTH ISSUE)].AdmitDtm) Between Forms!PRINT_REPORT![START DATE] And FORMS!PRINT_REPORT![END DATE]))
GROUP BY [NO ADMITTING DX (HEALTH ISSUE)].PHYSICIANDISPLAYNAME;
** This query now works properly **
Thank you for all the help.

Answer 1

For your query, use something like this.
SELECT DISPLAYNAME, COUNT(DISPLAYNAME)
FROM [TXFR REC]
WHERE [TXFR REC].yourDate BETWEEN [Forms]![yourFormName]![yourStartDate]
AND [Forms]![yourFormName]![yourEndDateField]
GROUP BY DISPLAYNAME
All of your queries that you want to rely on a date range should have these parameters. The advantage to doing it this way is that you can give your two date fields on your form a datePicker. It would still work the same if you did something like this:
SELECT DISPLAYNAME, COUNT(DISPLAYNAME)
FROM [TXFR REC]
WHERE [TXFR REC].yourDate BETWEEN [Please Enter a Start Date]
AND [Please Enter an Ending Date]
GROUP BY DISPLAYNAME
It's all preference though. Just throw a button on there and go to Misc in the wizard and choose run query if you want.

Answer 2

Edit your queries to rely on the value of the form in the where clause:
[Forms]![form's name]![form's control]
Here's a Screenshot example
This will make your queries only work with the form, however. You might consider copying your queries and renaming and editing the copies to reflect its limitation.
