A report from a combo box

Guest

Hello everyone
A simple question : I have 2 reports (payed and not payed) that reads from a
query and one of the fields is the name of the sales man, that also goes to
table of sales man.
What i would like to do is : before it shows me the report, it "asks me" for
the name of the sales man and type of report (a or b).
I think i know how to do it with parameters in the query, but i think it
would be nicer if i show them a combo box.
Tks in advance

If your filter is based on a text field, then change the criteria by adding
a single quote

strCriteria = "[lngSalespersonID]= '" & Me![lngSalespersonID] & "'"

Well that was the correct way on doing that, but there is another way.

If this is the RecordSource of the report (example)

Select * From TableName Where [sales man field name] = [Please select a
sales man]

And the ser is prompt with the message "Please select a sales man", then
instead you can reference to the combo in the form in the RecordSource of the
eport

Select * From TableName Where [sales man field name] =
Forms![FormName]![ComboName]
