I have set up a query and a form. When I run them independently, they run fine. (I used a sample setup from Access help). The report will not run properly though. It brings up the form, then asks for the parameters to be input as well. Please help!

I created a report that has an open/close event and the code looks like this:

Private Sub Report_Close()
DoCmd.Close acForm, "Follow Up Dialog"
End Sub

Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
' Set public variable to true to indicate that the report
' is in the Open event
bInReportOpenEvent = True

' Open Sales By Category Dialog
DoCmd.OpenForm "Follow Up Dialog", , , , , acDialog

' Cancel Report if User Clicked the Cancel Button
If IsLoaded("Follow Up Dialog") = False Then Cancel = True

' Set public variable to false to indicate that the
' Open event is completed
bInReportOpenEvent = False
End Sub

Forms Look like this:

"Follow up Form":

Option Compare Database

Private Sub Cancel_Click()
DoCmd.Close 'Close Form
End Sub

Private Sub Category_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)

End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()

End Sub

Private Sub OK_Click()
Me.Visible = False
DoCmd.OpenReport "Follow Up", acViewNormal, acEdit
DoCmd.Close acForm, "Follow Up Form"
End Sub


"Follow Up Dialog":

Option Compare Database

Private Sub Cancel_Click()
DoCmd.Close
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
If Not bInReportOpenEvent Then
' If we're not called from the report
MsgBox "For use from the Follow Up Report only", vbOKOnly
Cancel = True
End If
Form_Open_Exit:
Exit Sub
End Sub

Private Sub OK_Click()
Me.Visible = False
End Sub


 
My post is incorrect on the code. I changed it to openreport after reading an archive post.
