Can't generate separate report for individual requisitions

isn't included in your where clause? Do you get the prompt if you attempt to open the report from the database window? -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP "lisedum" wrote in message ...

Can't generate separate report for individual requisitions
I have no idea why it keeps prompting me.
When I was using the filter query, it would not prompt me but would print all requisitions entered. When it prompts me to enter the requisition number with the where clause and I enter the one I wish to print, it prints all of them. If I don't enter a requisition number and just click OK, it prints blank requisition reports for each one. It does not prompt me when I open the report and never has. That's what I don't understand.

Can't generate separate report for individual requisitions
I figured out the problem and had to redo the reports using one query
instead. Now it works fine with the where clause. Except for one report (I have several forms with several reports) all work fine except for this one. On the requisition form, I also have a Purchase Order subform. I thought this would be the best way to do this. The user creates a Material Requisition which has its own autonumber. Then another user uses the exact same information to generate a Purchase Order which has a different autonumber. So I placed a subform that generates a purchase order for that Material Requisition only by setting the Cycle to Current Record and Data Entry to No. It works great until I try to print the report from the form. I can't use the where clause, because the subform is on the form and when I use the filter query, then it prompts me for the Material Requisition Number and prints a blank report. I hope this makes sense. Thank you. "Duane Hookom" wrote: What is the exact parameter prompt?
