Yep, that's it! Normally I don't use this approach (i.e. directly referencing controls in queries). However, this was for a quick and dirty set of data conversion queries, and we needed to plug the date range into it. Thanks for the advice. -----Original Message----- From: Rocky Smolin - Beach Access Software [mailto:bchacc at san.rr.com] Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2003 8:26 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [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.

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?
