Hi -

I orginially created a report that runs off a single query. (User selects project value that drives the initial query. The report displays # hours billed to a project per month). Now managers wanted me to add $$ values to the existing report. To save time, I created 2 additional queries that get the summarized dollar values. I was having trouble adding the amounts directly from the query to the report so I created forms. From the forms I was able to add fields to hold summarized $ amounts. But I have one problem....
the report will display #Name? in the summarized dollar value fields if the new forms are not open in the background.
Is there a way to load the values from the forms without having the forms open?


Thanks!

In short, no. You shouldn't need them though. You can get the value from the query with a DLookup or subreport, as appropriate.
 
I'll try the dlookup route again.
Thanks for your suggestion.
