Auto Generate Rpt

[dogman01]

I have a form with a combo box list of names. When I select a name that persons information populates the rest of the fiels. As well, I want to create a report and tie it to a command button on the forms page so that once a name has been selected the user can push the command button and that current records name is auto inserted into the query of the report. Now the report has been taylored to the name selected. Surely this can be done right?

You don't have to pass the value to the query. You can just open the Report using the Where clause and it will take care of it for you. I haven't looked at Paul's code but I'm sure that's what he's doing, just like mine. My example shows how you can open the same report (using a generic query) but by passing different where clauses upon opening the report you can do all of that without modifying a query, etc.
