Variable Dates in Macro

[taketime]

Hi all - I have a report I'm attempting to run via macro and having difficulty setting date format/parameters. Here is syntax that compiles ok, but not running correct.

I need variable 1 to be 1st of the month and variable 2 to be the last day of the month.

LoadReport "*report filename*" , "@repvar1=(month(date$)01(year(date$) , @repvar2=(month(date$)31(year(date$))"

Also - any advice on 'scheduling' reports to run unattended?
