Hopefully an easy one?

Have created a Form with numerous ComboBoxes.
On hitting OK on the form this calls up a Query which has all the criteria
"links" to my Form. All works OK.
How do I call up a Report (which looks better)that is displayed on the
screen or that can be printed.

Umm... yeah. The help file is your friend. If not, introduce
yourself.

One example...
Private Sub cmdOpenTransactionReport_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdOpenTransactionReport_Click

Dim stDocName As String
Dim strCriteria As String

stDocName = "rptTransaction"

'build your filter here...
strCriteria = "TransDate=#" & Me.TransDate & "#"
'open filtered report with criteria string
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview, , strCriteria

Exit_cmdOpenTransactionReport_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_cmdOpenTransactionReport_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_cmdOpenTransactionReport_Click

End Sub

Note, the wizard will do most of this for you. All you need to do is
build the valid WHERE clause yourself and modify the OpenReport
statement.
