RE: Maintaing original date in reports

Not really. Reports do not contain data, they only present the data
contained in tables. Only tables contain data.
Queries retrieve or modify data in tables.
Forms are used to manually view or manipulate data.
Reports are used to present data.

If you have a requirement to "freeze" some data in time, then you need to
define what needs to be done to accomplish this. If a record in a table will
never be changed after being reported on, then you can juse use an "archive"
field that indicates the record should not be changed. Your application has
to deal with disallowing changes to the record.

If, on the other hand, the record will be changed, but you want to keep
track of how it looks at a point in history, then you need an archival
stratagy that moves a copy of the record to a history table or to an archive
database.
