Parameter Values prompted for twice

B

Beth Barrie

I have built a query using two parameter values, one to check for the date
and one to check for what person to pull data for. When I run the query the
prompts all appear twice. Anyone know how to resolve this? The parameters I
am using in the Criteria line are Between [Enter the beginning date:] And
[Enter the ending date:] and [Enter Bookkeeper's last name:]

Thanks

Honestly, I am not advanced enough to have ever done any programming in
Access, but here is the SQL as requested. Thanks!

SELECT tblCTT.Date, tblCTT.[Practice#], tblClients.CompanyName,
Sum(tblCTT.[Approx Minutes]) AS [SumOfApprox Minutes], tblCTT.Bookkeeper
FROM tblCTT INNER JOIN tblClients ON (tblCTT.Bookkeeper =
tblClients.Bookkeeper) AND (tblCTT.[Practice#] = tblClients.[Practice#])
GROUP BY tblCTT.Date, tblCTT.[Practice#], tblClients.CompanyName,
tblCTT.Bookkeeper
HAVING (((tblCTT.Date) Between [Enter the beginning date:] And [Enter the
ending date:]) AND ((tblCTT.Bookkeeper)=[Enter Bookkeeper's last name:]));

Post the SQL of the query. (Hint on the menu VIEW: SQL)

Often you will get prompted twice if there is a minor misspelling of the
parameter.

If that is not the case, switch to SQL view, copy the SQL statement, and paste
it into a new query. Run the new query. IF you no longer get the prompts and
get the correct results, save the new version with the name of the old version.

When I create the tables with fields as you have, the query params only show
up once.

There's a Return in one of the params, but it might have happened when you
copied it to this site.

I tried this suggestion and it resolved the problem. Thanks so much for your
help!
