Clearing Text Boxes

I'm really new to access and need a little help. When my report is opened I ask the user to enter information into four different input boxes that go into 4 different text boxes I have. What I want to happen is that if the user clicks the cancel button on the last input box it will clear whatever the user entered in the first 3 text boxes and close the report. I've tried using the Me.Undo feature on the text boxes but that isn't working. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Applying some insight here, [purple]what if the user cancels the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd?[/purple] . . .

You should never use parameter prompts since they are inflexible and offer little or no control over user input. Use a form with controls for all report/query criteria. This allows you to make sure the user stays between the lines.

Agree with [blue]dhookom[/blue]. A form allows you to completely validate you data before opening the report!
