How do you make an interactive prompt

A

Andy S.

I'm trying to figure out how to make the results of one query be
available as a dropdown menu prompt for the criteria of another query. Is
there an easy way to do this/ I'm doing this to avoid typos, when prompting
the user for criteria with the [].

Avoid using parameter prompts. Use controls on forms for filtering
queries/reports/forms.

I would filter, but a parameter prompt is needed because it will vastly
improve performance. How I would implement a control?
