My report and subreport are generate from the same query. I have used a
parametery query for the main report. As separate reports they works fine,
but when used together, I keep geting non-ending rquests for the parameter.
Use a form to enter the date parameters into.
Let's assume the parameters are for start date and end date.
Create an unbound form.
Add 2 unbound text controls.
Set their format to a valid date format.
Name them "StartDate" and "EndDate"
Add a Command Button to the form.
Code the button's click event:
Me.Visible = False
Name this form 'ParamForm'.
As criteria in the query date field of each query, write:
Between forms!ParamForm!StartDate and forms!ParamForm!EndDate
Next, code the Main report's Open event:
DoCmd.OpenForm "ParamForm", , , , , acDialog
Code the Main report's Close event:
DoCmd.Close acForm, "ParamForm"
When ready to run the report, open the report.
The form will open and wait for the entry of the starting and ending
dates wanted.
Click the command button and the report will run.
The sub-report will show the same date range.
When the report closes, it will close the form.
