I inserted the Modification date field from the Special Fields section into my reports.  Each time a report is refreshed, I assumed that the date in the Modification Date field would change as well.  Is this not how that field is designed?  Do I need to add code to the field on the reports to pull in the current date when a report is refreshed?  Thanks for your assistance.

This is the last date that the report itself was modified and saved in the design, not the last time it was run or viewed.
If you want today's date then you can use Print Date or create a formula field as "currentdate".
If you are looking to alter your select statement based on the date the report is run then you will need to post more information.
