Default Opening a filterable report from a form

I am building an access database and am attempting to create a form (menu at
startup) that I will use buttons to open other forms and reports.
I am using a blank form and adding buttons (links to the other forms and
reports). I have chosen in the wizard to Open Report under Report Operations,
choose my report, and finish the wizard. But the button I have created does
not do anything. I checked the Macro settings and it is missing a line.
Here is the code:

Private Sub Command7_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command7_Click
stDocName = "Deficiencies Report"
(missing statement)
Exit_Command7_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Command7_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command7_Click
End Sub

It is missing the “DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, “parameter”” statement.
There is a parameter of acNormal to Print Report and a parameter of
acPreview for Preview Report (Print Preview) . But I don’t want to do either.
I need to be able to just open the report as if I hunt and click on the
report from the side bar. The purpose is so that I can run filters in the
report itself.
Does anyone know what the parameter in the statement should be?

Thanks,
John
