Hi. Thanks for posting your code. You should be able to simply use Me.Filter to get the criteria you want for your report now. For example:
DoCmd.OpenReport "ReportName", acViewPreview, , Me.FilterWhat is the Record Source of your Form?
Okay, you could try using:
CurrentDb.Execute "SELECT * INTO TempTable FROM Accounts WHERE " & Me.Filter, dbFailOnErrorThat's correct! So, to answer your question in post #6 about using a "simple" approach to create that temp table, the answer would a "no, there's simple way."
PARAMETERS [Forms]![frmAccountSearch]![cboFilterCode] Short, [Forms]![frmAccountSearch]![txtFilterSupplier] Long, [Forms]![frmAccountSearch]![txtStartDate] DateTime, [Forms]![frmAccountSearch]![txtFilterEndDate] DateTime;
SELECT Accounts.*
FROM Accounts
WHERE IIf([Forms]![frmAccountSearch]![cboFilterCode] = -1, (Accounts.Code),
IIf([Forms]![frmAccountSearch]![cboFilterCode] = 0, (NOT Accounts.Code), True))
AND (([Forms]![frmAccountSearch]![txtFilterSupplier] Is Null)
OR (Accounts.Supplier Like "*" & [Forms]![frmAccountSearch]![txtFilterSupplier] & "*"))

What was the error? Can't help you, if we don't know what's happening.
I also don't understand this part. Which db is that?
So, it looks like you're using 64-bit Access. Try changing the first line of the function declaration (shown in red in your image) to this:
Don't think that will help us help you since that demo, presumably, works on its own. If you're having problems implementing it into your own db, we'll need to see your db, to help you figure out what went wrong.
@mounty76 I appreciate you are now using code tags, but the General option is enough. That shows the code much better, as below.?
