Form for user to create custon reports from multiple criteria

[fvreg]

I am trying to put together an form to be used in an academic administration database.
Ideally, I would like to create a form that will allow a user to select criteria and get a list of all students fitting that criteria.
For example:
Show me all a) all Economics majors with b) 30-50 Credits who c) have not taken English 101.
All of this data could be compiled into one query, but I would like to create a form that will allow a user to select what data he or she would like to see.
(Maybe they only want to see graduates)
I hope this makes sense.
And I hope someone can help point me in the right direction.

Thank you!

Maybe this can help you out. (Sorry, I didn't take the time to translate it but I guess you can figure it out. Come back if you need more info about it.)

This looks promising. However, between my minimal knowledge of VB and the language barrier, I am having a hard time adapting this to my form.
Is there a tutorial somewhere that tells me what each of these steps does?
