Blank query after setting criteria

[RyLane]

Hello,

I've set up a form with a button to open a report based on the current name on the form. The idea is that as you look through the different pages on the form you can open a report for whatever one you're on and print it.

In my query I have a name field where I put the criteria: Forms!Formname.Textboxname
By clicking the button on my form I'm able to generate a report based on the name that appears in that textbox. It works great when I initially put it in but if I close the form (or query, or report) and open it back up it is blank.

Is this even possible with a text box? It seems like it when I open it, it has nothing to go off and that's why it's blank. I just don't know how to fix that.

I'm new here, so let me know if I've done a terrible job describing this.

Thanks,

Could you explain it a little more, what you want etc., I don't know what you exactly mean?

I want to open a report that shows only the information displayed on the form.
My form allows me to cycle through 20 different names and their scores and I want to be able to stop on any name and open a report with just that information.

Use the WhereCondition of the DoCmd.OpenReport method?

I put Forms!Formname!.Textboxname as the WhereCondition of the macro and it just opens the report based on every name and not the one in the textbox.

Actually I got it to work with the wherecondition. I wasn't filling it out properly.

Thanks!
