I have been able to successfully build dialog boxes for criteria to open reports; however, I cannot get this to work to open a form! In the form's underlying query, the criteria is to look to the dialog form (i.e., Forms![ItemDialog]![Item]). However, when I open the form, the query parameters still run instead of going directly to my custom dialog box. How do I get rid of the parameter windows and just use the dialog box I created for criteria! I'm at a loss!!! (I do not know VBA.)
