Number of reports / queries defined (by folder??)
Last time executed
Number of times executed in last week/month/year

Take a look at the (free) audit extension package. It comes with a bunch of reports that have most of what you want. You can modify them or build your own - a Cognos package and FM model is provided.

Thanks for the reply bdbits..

Actually we have a audit package and timestamp field is there that shows the report run time. But the reuirement is to get the time period between the last 2 runs (for example, for a report scheduled on a weekly basis, you would expect to see 7 days between report runs).How should I achieve this?

Warm regards,
