GOOD MORNING...
I currently have a form to launch a set of pre-desinged reports. The main function of the form is that it allows the user to sort or filter the data that appears in the report based on their selection (from combo boxes). I currenty have it set up so that the user can choose a specific client, facility, or region. The problem is the following:
THE FORM IS WAY TOOOO BUSY AND NEEDS TO BE SIMPLIFIED. EX:
CLIENT (combo box)
Microsoft
nortel
dell
ibm
.
.
.
btnLaunchRPT1 btnLaunchRPT2 btnLaunchRPT3
REGION (Combo box)
North
South
East
west
north-west
.
.
.
btnLaunchRPT1 btnLaunchRPT2 btnLaunchRPT3
etc.
each btnLaunchRPT'n' has the following code
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptECM Numbers", acViewPreview, , "[Region] = " & "'" & Me.Combo299 & "'"
but I change the [region] to whatever it is I am sorting by. Can I reduce this down to only having one set of btnLaunchRPT buttons that will detect what the user has selected and applies the proper sorts
HELP
