Build your report. You must include the [project_id] field in its data source. When the report is done, place a button named btnReport on the form and add a code event procedu Private Sub btnReport_Click() DoCmd.OpenReport "ReportName", , , "[project_id] = " & Me![project_id] End Sub mfG -- stefan -- |

Thx Stefan. I tried this and all it did was show all entries rather those
filered by project_id.

Then check whether you have the data source of your report crafted correctly and that you have specified the parameter for the OpenReport in the right command order. It must be the fourth parameter: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...ice.11%29.aspx mfG -- stefan -- |

This may or may not be relevant but I am using MS Access 2007.

My code is as follows:
DoCmd.OpenReport "test", acViewPreview, , "[project_id] = " & Me![project_id] When button (with above code) is pressed I get following message box: Enter Parameter Value When I manually enter a value then the resulting report is displayed correctly. What am I doing wrong? "Seddon Acaster" wrote: This may or may not be relevant but I am using MS Access 2007.

hi Seddon,

When I manually enter a value then the resulting report is displayed correctly. What am I doing wrong? This means that we have either a typo or reference error. For the typo check the spelling of the parameter name as displayed in the input box you're getting. For a reference error take a close look at your reports data source: has the field a table name prefix in its design view? mfG -- stefan -- |

Or it could be that Project_ID is not an number field. If that is the case
you need to change the call to DoCmd.OpenReport "test", acViewPreview, , "[project_id]=""" & Me![project_id] & """" Or alternative using ' instead of " DoCmd.OpenReport "test",acViewPreview,, "[project_id]='" & Me![project_id] & "'" Watch out for the line wrap and that should all be on one line. The newsreader will make that two lines.
