access thread: Opening a second instance of a report

Hi folks,
I have a form that includes a dropdown combobox with a list of reports.
When the user clicks on the Go button, a second pop-up form appears that
asks for the period (e.g., StartDate and EndDate) to report on; the user
then ckicks on OK. The appropriate report opens with the pertinent details.
What I want to do is to have the user be able to go back to the beginning
and enter in diffrent period for the same report (and item), so that they
can compare the results. At the moment, the second time around, all that
happens is the first report appears as the active window.
Is there a way to open two (or more) instances of the same report object,
with separate details?
I've searched the archives here and Microsoft KB but no matches were found.
Thanks for any assistance.
Regards,
Eric

I believe there is, but it would be ugly ... I'm guessing that you'd have
to set up a second workspace to open the 2nd instance of the report in.
It might be a whole lot easier to duplicate the report instead.
