How having a where-clause in a report without affecting the actions button

Question

Hi,
let's suppose I have a simple report built on a table where I have a date field.
If I want the report to get the records of the table when you login ao as to have only those of the current month, I could modify the region source in the page rendering of the report in this way:
select
“COLUMN1"
"COLUMN2",
"COLUMN3"
from   "MYTABLE"
where to_char(COLUMN2,'mm-yyyy') = to_char(trunc(sysdate),'mm-yyyy')
order by COLUMN2
The problem is that if I try to choose another range of date on the application by using the filter of the Actions button, I get no records and I suppose that is 'cause the report applies the filter to the query where I have
where to_char(COLUMN2,'mm-yyyy') = to_char(trunc(sysdate),'mm-yyyy')
and so I doesn't work.
How should I do?
Thanks!

try this...
select  
“COLUMN1" 
"to_char(COLUMN2,'mm-yyyy') ", 
"COLUMN3" 
from   "MYTABLE"  
where COLUMN2 between to_char(COLUMN2,'mm-yyyy') and  to_char(trunc(sysdate),'mm-yyyy') 
order by COLUMN2
