I know that this has been answered many times but i cannot get it to work. I am wanting the user to run a query and for it to show the results without them actually going into the query design view. At present they can clikc on a command button which will load a query. The only view they get are parameter requests (eg [enter system] [enter start date]. Then the query results will come up in a seperate window. What i would like is a form where they would open it and there would be unbound text boxes where they could enter the criteria for the parameters and the results to come up in a sub-form. Can this be done
