Parameter query

G

Guest

I have a query that asks for an employee ID, a start date and an end date as
parameters. The first few times it ran well, but then it began asking for
each parameter twice. I'm not sure what I did in between, but I can't stop it
now without rewriting the query. This is not the first time this has
happened. Does anyone know of an explanation for this?

Thanx,

Rip

You probably sorted or filtered the query when you had it opened &
clicked the "Yes" button when you closed the query (and didn't read the
"warning" that was displayed). Try this:

1. Run the query.
2. When the result set shows, right-click on a row & select Remove
Filter/Sort.
3. Close the query. When asked if you want to save the changes to the
query - click Yes.

That should get rid of the multiple parameter prompts. If not, I don't
know what caused your problem.
