Charles,

Why not add the filter to the report? All the filter is, is the 'where
condition' minus the word 'where'. This would save making a Query (even if
it is temporary).

Just curious.

Frank,

I solved a similar problem by building a search form where the user
selected one or more of the variables they wanted to search on, the
appropriate operator (=, >, IsNull, Between, etc.) for each variable,
and the value(s) to use with that variable.  When they clicked on the OK
button, I then edited the selections and built the sql to use as the
recordsource of the form they wanted to filter.  It is a little work to
build such a search form, but once you have one it is easy to adapt to
the next form that needs a variable filter.

In that case, you need to set the 'filter on' property of the report to
true. Next, set the filter to the where condition of the SQL statement
that you would have if you knew all the criteria up front without the
word 'where'.

for example...
Me.FilterOn = true
Me.Filter = "[field] = 'something' and [filed2] = 'something else'"

I thought of that.  My biggest problems is that It may
need to be based on more than one of the filter
queries at a time.  Like I might want to filter out
extension to extension calls AND local calls so that
they're not displayed on the report.
