Thank you, Dirk, I can do that.

I just wonder why I found a full info about OpenArgs in Access 2000 Help?

Hello:

I created an Access application that uses OpenArgs:

DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview, , , , "1"

I created it in Access 2003 (but in Access 2000 format), and it works
well. However, people in my company are using Access 2000, and this
doesn't work on their PCs. They are getting a compile error ("Wrong
number of arguments or method is not supported").

I've checked the references - they are identical to mine, except that
they have Access 9, and I have Access 11. I know that Access 2000
supports OpenArgs, I verified this in Help. But it even doesn't give
this option. When I type DoCmd.OpenReport, I see this:

OpenReport(ReportName, View as AcView=acVewNormal, [FilterName],
[WhereCondition])

That's all.

On my PC I see:

OpenReport(ReportName, View as AcView=acVewNormal, [FilterName],
[WhereCondition],
WindowMode as AcWindowMode=acWindowNormal, [OpenArgs])

What could be wrong here?

You are mistaken -- Access 2000 does not support OpenArgs for
DoCmd.OpenReport, only for DoCmd.OpenForm. You'll have to use a
workaround of some sort.

Possible workarounds include (a) putting the arguments into a hidden
text box on a form, and having the report pick them up from there, and
(b) using a global variable whose value you set to the desired argument
string just before you open the report -- the report's Open event proc
then grabs the argument value from the variable and clears the variable
for future use.
