Problem with Report and Forms

J

John

Hello All,

I need some help with a form and report. I have a Report Listing form
that lists all reports for each users security group. There is one
report where the users have to select their name from a field on the
Report Listing form that passess to the report and it all works fine
until they try to print the report. When they try to print the report
it brings up the box from the query where the form is passing in their
name requesting them to enter their name. I think the problem is when
they open the report listing form and select this report then their
name in the drop-down box and press print preview it open the report
and closes the report listing form which had their name selected.

How to do I get this work so they don't have to type in their name
multiple times?

Please post your code and the SQL of the report's recordsource. We can't see
it from here!

You should certainly be able to open a Report referencing a form control (the
comb box (rather than a prompt), but it's not clear from what you post how you
have these set up.
