Reference controls on a dialogue form as the parameters
in [Reports]
|
From: SSi308 on 27 May 2010 16:38 I am trying to create a dialogue form which asks for start date and end date and includes a button to run a report. My goal is to enter the dates only once to run the report. Currently I have the date parameters set in the two queries and have to enter the date range twice when running the report. I tried following several answers to similar questions but now when opening the form and entering the dates I am prompted to re-enter the dates 3 times! The report I am ultimately trying to run consists of a main report, rptCallVolume, and a subreport, rptContractsAndHours. Each of those reports are based on a parameter query: rptCallVolume Field: CallDate Table: DailyCalls WHERE [CallDate] >= Forms!ReportGen!txtStartDate AND [CallDate] < DATEADD("d",1,Forms!ReportGen!txtStartDate) rptContractsAndHours Field: DateOfRecord Table: ContractsAndHours WHERE [DateOfRecord] >= Forms!ReportGen!txtStartDate AND [DateOfRecord] < DATEADD("d",1,Forms!ReportGen!txtStartDate) I can also post the SQL View if that will help. Thanks for any assistance.

Thanks for any assistance. Asuming you are using the correct form and text box names, that should work without prompts as long as the form stays open. What you are seeing sounds like the form is somehow closing itself. -- Marsh MVP [MS Access]
From: SSi308 on 1 Jun 2010 10:29 Marshall, Thanks for the reply. I ended up deleting the query and recreating. Guessing there was a typo somewhere in the query that I just wasn't seeing. The form is working perfectly.
