date queries

I have written a report that contains multiple queries that displays the
number of applications we submit month by month to various entities. I wrote
the report last year and have been asked to create it again this year.
I know that this is going to be require every year, and I don't want to
write it again.
My problem is that in order to get the month by month data, I had to write
"WHERE (tDocHistory.ChangeDate BETWEEN '1/1/2008' AND '2/1/2008')
GROUP BY tDocHistory.NewStatus, tDocHistory.ChangeDate, tCompany.CoName,
tApplication.ApplicationNum, CONVERT(CHAR(2), DATEPART(MM,
tDocHistory.ChangeDate)), CONVERT(CHAR(4),
DATEPART(yyyy, tDocHistory.ChangeDate)), tApplication1028.MarkUpAmt"
I would like to be able to allow my users to select the year they wish to
view.
I wanted to replace the 2008 with % in the statement:
(tDocHistory.ChangeDate BETWEEN '1/1/%' AND '2/1/%')
and then filter the datepart for the year by writing:
HAVING (tDocHistory.NewStatus = 'wv' OR
tDocHistory.NewStatus = 'dcs') AND (tCompany.CoName
LIKE @.FunderName) AND (CONVERT(CHAR(4), DATEPART(yyyy,
tDocHistory.ChangeDate))
LIKE @.Year)
Do you know any way I could make this work?

SamyraWhy dont you use report parameter to select the date.

query in each box.
I am looking at a table that contains historical data for each record in the
database, not current data, so I wasn't able to build a table or a matrix
report that would display the data they wanted to see.
