In a report control's control source:
=Min([DateField]) & " - " & Max([DateField])

Create a query into this table.

Depress the Total button on the toolbar (Upper sigma icon).
Access adds a Total row to the query.

Drag the date field into the query Twice.
In the Total row, under the first one choose Min, and the 2nd one Max.

Use this query as the source for your report.

Alternatively, you could place text boxes on your report, with ControlSource
set to:
=DMin("MyDateField", "MyTable")
and
=DMax("MyDateField", "MyTable")
