MS Access How to automatically fill in my calendar report with start and end dates?
I created a scheduler where the user inputs name and start and end dates.
My report will display all days in the month.
How can I auto fill the dates in the report?
I.E. the user will be on vacation from 12-1-12 to 12-7-12 according to the form input.
I would like all date boxes from 12-1-12 to 12-7-12 to display the employee name and event (vacation).
My report will display all days in the month.

There are a lot of detail missing here, so my guess is that you just need a starting point
Something "roughly" like this:
Database10.accdb

As boag suggested, I always have a table in my database used for this type of purchase. The table has preloaded one record for every date from 1900 through 2100 (or whatever range you need as a max). For convenience, I have other date related columns indicating whether whether the date is a weekend, holiday, the date in text format, the day of week in text format (Mon, Tue, Wed...) and stuff like that. Although you can (sometimes) easily derrive these, its so simple to pull it from the table if you're going to join it anyway.
In addition to the date columns, I have a number column which is just 0 through X. This also comes in handy when filling in missing numbers or doing dateAdd functions.

Database10.accdb - The form will display a date range provided.
How can I create a form for user input into to the tblappointments table a date range instead of the user inputting day by day input I.E. 12-1-12 vacation, 12-2-12 vacation, 12-3-12 vacation etc...
I would like to use a table with date ranges to supply the Database10.accdb form report.
RecordID RecordDateFrom RecordDateTo EmpID ReasonCode
1 12-1-12 12-7-12 4 101
Form report will display all days in the range provided I.E.

Oh!
I misunderstood your question.
Try this sample
Then, all you have to do now is create a form and a Report based on qryEmpTimeOff

Refdate was only there because I thought this was primarily a "Report" question, and you wanted to display all dates, even if not Time off was requested for that day.
You can still keep it (and update it) for that reason (to show all dates in a report), but as far as the code I posted, ...it is irrelevant.
