parameter query

[Guest]

Hi All,
I have a parameter query i have attached to a form and all works well, even
did some vb code to make it work!!.

Now i'd like to extend the query to ask a second question.
In the original query i have created a drop down list the user selects and
as such i'd like to add a second drop down list to further break down the
query.

the original query looks like this:

[forms]![Not resolved by Builder]![builders]
i'd like to add another expression like below
[forms]![issue type]![issues]

i envisage the form will have 2 drop down lists and then the ok button.

any ideas or more info required?

If both Combo's are located on the same form, you need to have the same path.

Forms![FormName]![ControlName]

So, If that the original [forms]![Not resolved by Builder]![builders]
Then this [forms]![issue type]![issues] need to be [forms]![Not resolved by
Builder]![issues]

Just add this path in the criteria section of the field in the query

If you want to create a search form that offers several drop-down boxes, and
the user doesn't have to enter something in all of them, see:
Search form - Handle many optional criteria

There is a sample database to download and see the code that sets the Filter
of the form to so shows the right results.

Thanks guy's, works a treat. also helps if you use the correct names!!

Forms![FormName]![ControlName]

So, If that the original [forms]![Not resolved by Builder]![builders]
Then this [forms]![issue type]![issues] need to be [forms]![Not resolved by
Builder]![issues]

Hi Allen,
thaks for that, it's a very different approach than i originally thought but
i'll give it a try as i think it might be easier for the end user.
thanks
