My query asks which birth month to report on. The user can key in 1 thru 12 or an * for all months. On the associated report, I use the birth month field to display what the user keyed in. When a month is keyed, it displays it properly, but when * is keyed to run for all months, it is displayed on the report as 1. This is misleading, people think it's Jan report. Any way the * can be displayed? Thanks Tom
