    Using nulls with parameters

    Thanks LB - this is what I'm trying to do and all parameters are the same. As I said before it works fine if I select one of the criteria from the list so demonstrates the links are set up correctly - it's only when selecting the 'All' or multiple criteria that doesn't work. Thanks jcl5
