Trying to get rid of a couple of parameters…

[oop94]

Hello again,
I created a form from a query which before loading all the controls asks for the Item ID (parameter). This form has two subforms that depend on another two queries; since I want them to show the info for the same item, all three ask for the Item ID, which can be kind of annnoying and does not look too professional. Is there a way I can get rid of two of the pop-ups and still have the three forms display the info of the same item?


And my second question: After the Item ID is entered 3 times, all the info is displayed on the forms. But, if I click the arrow on the bottom of the form (to supposedly go to the next time...but it should not be possible to do this), a "Enter parameter value" window pops-up (one just like the Item id one), and I have no clue where it came from. I cannot find it in the code; and I really want to get rid of it. I could use all the help I can get.

Thanks in advance!

Don't use the default InputBox parameter but a form's textbox.

Hope This Helps, PH.
