I am trying to get a box prompting users for input when they run the following equation:

SELECT d.shiftindex, d.loc, d.timeempty, d.timedump, d.ddbkey
FROM dbo.hist_dumps d Inner Join dbo.hist_exproot e
On d.shiftindex = e.shiftindex
WHERE e.shiftdate between [startdate] and [enddate]

I have not been able to come up with a way to get the start date and end date to be requested.

This query is on SQL management studio 2005

There is no way to prompt a user for input in SSMS.

But you can use variables:

declare @startdate datetime
declare @enddate datetime
set @startdate='20130101'
set @enddate ='20130131'

select ... where ... between @startdate and @enddate

But sorry - no prompting...

the prompting part has to be done at some front end tools

or create logic as a procedure with parameters and right click and select execute option. it will give a pop up screen for parameters
