parameter query question

[Grace]

Hello, I have report which uses as it's source a parameter
query that prompts for a value for the [Issue] field. The
[Issue] value is selected off a form
[HelpDeskDetailbyIssueForm] so that the user may select a
value from the table tblIssueList.

The value in the query for the Issue field is: [Forms]!
[HelpDeskDetailbyIssueForm]![Issue]

Is there anyway that I could leave the [Issue] field blank
on the form so that ALL issues are include in the report?
Is there a way to use a "wildcard" search to get all
values?

Thank you,
Grace

Assuming the column's name is [Issue] use a WHERE clause like this:

WHERE [Forms]![HelpDeskDetailbyIssueForm]![Issue] Is Null
OR ([Issue] = [Forms]![HelpDeskDetailbyIssueForm]![Issue]
AND [Forms]![HelpDeskDetailbyIssueForm]![Issue] Is Not Null)

or, if using the WhereCondition parameter of the OpenReport method,
the above without the WHERE keyword:

strWhere = "[Forms]![HelpDeskDetailbyIssueForm]![Issue] Is Null " & _
"OR ([Issue] = [Forms]![HelpDeskDetailbyIssueForm]![Issue] " & _
"AND [Forms]![HelpDeskDetailbyIssueForm]![Issue] Is Not Null)"

DoCmd.OpenReport "ReportName", WhereCondition:=strWhere

See the article about a database of query examples:

This db is where I got the above solution.
