Combo box parameter not working

[Guest]

Hi,

I'm using Access 2003 and am trying to use a combo box to allow selection
for the criteria of a parameter query.
I have created a form with the combo box on it andd are using the following
syntax in the criteria field of the query:
=[Forms]![form name]![combo box name]
When I run the query instead of a combo box I get the following:
Enter Parameter Value (followed by)
Forms!frmVendorComboforParamter!Combo6

What am I doing wrong???

Thanks, Mike

The form must be open with your value selected prior to running your report.

Sorry, I should have stated "open/run your query" rather than "report".
