[AccessD] A2K: Query parameters disappear in break mode

Brett:

Are you referencing the control directly in the criteria line of the QBE - Forms!frmXyz!ctl123?  I can't remember why but I always had such trouble getting values from controls off of forms and into my queries that I changed the criteria to reference a global function which returns the value of the control.  Maybe that will dodge around the problem instead of solving it.

HTH,

Rocky

  My colleague ran across a strange problem in Access 2000, and I can't seem to find anything on any of the reference sites that mention this behavior:

  Created an append query that references form controls as it's criteria (start/end dates).
  Set a breakpoint in the command button event procedure.
  With the code in break mode, he tried opening the query manually, and no records were returned.
  After a little troubleshooting, we found that the referenced form control values disappear in the query if the form's code is in break mode!

  What a PITA!  Has anyone else run across this problem?
