Since your Invoices table is a child to the Project, you can have each Invoice be an individual record (and actually should do this), rather than having a single Invoice record with multiple dates, amounts, etc.
I would suggest changing your Invoice table to have just the following fields:
Once you do this, you can use the Invoice Date field to build your report.

Philip, since you have an invoice file with dates, you can construct an <ask the user> report to allow the user to select the date range.
You should be able to have two <ask the user> questions.
Where
[invoice date] is on or after <ask the user>
[invoice date] is on or or before <ask the user>
The other way to do this is simply to through the user into a full report and then show the Invoice Date as a Dynamic Filter.

Great idea, do you have a suggestion on how i can effectively migrate the values already in my multiple invdate, inv# and invamount into the newly created fields you suggested?

yes, Blake is correct.
The setup should be to have the child table of invoices and not have the invoice amounts on the parent record.
