Report getting data from parameter query

[jlancton]

Hi,

I have a small db of help desk calls. I'm trying to generate a report of all calls for a specific person. I created a form that uses a combo box to select the person from the list, but I can't figure out how to get that result to the query as the criteria. I assume I need to have the query pop up the form and somehow read the choice, but I can't figure how to do that. Once that part works it should be just a matter of basing the report on the query.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

-Jeff

Hi

Assuming the form will be open whjen the query runs, put Forms!frmYourFormName!cboYourComboName as the criteria in the relavant column of the query in the query builder.

You can get to this via the builder dialog, also
You need to use you form and control name of course Regards
