Replacing openargs

[Rauken]

I have a button on a form which opens a report in preview. I use the args property to send a couple of parameters to the report. After installing I realized that it's a 2003 feature and it doesn't exist in the 2000 version. What property can I use to retreive values in 2000 version.

The report is quite complicated, using where or filter properties won't work. Is tag property possible, in that case how do I use that?

erm, are you sure you don't have openArgs?

I've got openArgs, and I'm working on a 2k access db...

maybe you've not included the correct references?

What reference do I need for openargs?

 

[glalsop]

Access 2000 has OpenArgs for forms, it is not available for use in reports until XP.

Perhaps consider a hidden text box on the form that opens the report, or a global variable.

Thank you. Yes global variable will be my solution.

How are ya Rauken . . . . .

You can always [purple]set variables in code using form referencing[/purple] (provided form is open):

[purple]For MainForm:[/purple]

[blue] Variable = Forms!MainFormName!TextBoxName[/blue]

[purple]For subForm:[/purple]

[blue] Variable = Forms!MainFormName!subFormName.Form!TextBoxName[/blue]

See Ya! . . . . . .
