Default enter paramerter value

I have created a small single table db using access saved as 2000-2003. I
have created the form and am sharing it across a network with 2 other people
in my workgroup. When we log into the for it ask for us to, "Enter Parameter
Value" for 4 of the fields. I believe this to have to do with a query but I
would like to know how to shut this down so we do not have to do anything
with these eveytime we access the db. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Is the form based on a query? Did you split your database into a front and
back end? If you have a back end that the form or query uses, then make sure
you have updated your linked tables. If not then make sure all the names of
columns forms source match the columns in your table. With a little more
information we could fix this problem easily.

Ryan,

Thanks for the response. I did not split the db but I did change the names
on the fields/columns and edited my form afterward. I created the db in
access 2007 and had to save it in the 2003 format for my co-waorked with
older PC's. I sued the design view of the form to drag the desired fields
into the form.

Hope this helps.

The next thing I would try is to add a query with all the columns in the
table and base the form off the query. This is just good practice anyways,
because with a query you can add extra columns for calculations, expressions
and other things. Let me know if the form works if its record source is a
query.

Thanks Ryan, I'll give that a shot as I would like to calculate some of the
fields.
