I have a form (created that way for user-friendlienss) that contains two subforms. Each of them are based on a parameter query. Opening the form works wonderfully. However, when I attempt to print, it requests the parameters over again, twice each. Not only is this tedious and redundant, but it will confuse my users. Is there a way to make it print exactly what is seen in that particular form and not ask for the parameters all over again?
I appreciate all the help that I have and will receive.

One thing I've done, is to set up a form, with text boxes to hold the parameters. Set up your query to take the parameters from the form (this is easy to do using the expression builder), then put a button on the form to do one of the following:

1. Open your forms
2. Print your reports or forms.

That way your query can find the parameters when needed.
