Parameters keep repeating
I have created a graph report . When I ask for the report from the
switchboard, I have to enter the date parameter associated with the query more than once. I have to also enter the day again before I print. And if I cancel. it prints a blank report. Is there a way I can view the report, enter the dates, and print without repeated requests. I have battle with this for months. I did try creating a form to associate with it and this still happens -- Thanks, Linda

Parameters keep repeating
I created a form I have to texts boxes , begin and end date. when I click my
report command button created on the form to open a report, it asks for the parameter values twice(dates). The graph then appears. If I cancel, a blank prints out.

Parameters keep repeating
the record source for the report is :
SELECT(Format([admissiondate],"MMM'YY")),Count([admissiondate]) AS [CountOfadmissiondate]FROM[ALF admissions by month que] GROUP BY (Year([admissiondate])*12+Month([admissiondate])-1),(Format([admissiondate],"MMM'YY")); the query source for the report is: field:admission date; criteria: Between [begin date] and [end date] The SQL view for the query is: SELECT TBLRESIDENTINFO.unittype, TBLRESIDENTINFO.admissiondate FROM TBLRESIDENTINFO WHERE(((TBLRESIDENTINFO.unittype)="ALF")AND((TBLRE SIDENTINFO.admissiondate) Between [begin date] And [end date])); The SQL statement for the report is displayed in the RecordSource -- the report was created with the wizard. The report works fine except for the problems noted. A form to open the report has not been created (even though I tried) I do thank you in advance for your help and pray this makes sense.
