[AccessD] OpenArgs question

Susan,

I'm getting confused.  Where are you trying to recognize it, and where
does a form come into the equation?  Only A2002 has an OpenArgs argument
for reports.  Earlier versions didn't have it.  We use it in reports
without problems, so what are you trying to do that isn't succeeding?

This should be an easy one. The following event procedure opens a report
and passes the list box' value as th OpenArgs setting.

Private Sub lstCategories_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
  Dim str As String
  str = Chr(34) & Me.lstCategories.Value & Chr(34)
  Debug.Print str
  DoCmd.OpenReport ReportName:="Catalog", _
      View:=acViewPreview, _
      OpenArgs:=str
End Sub

Problem is, I can't get the report to recognize it -- in any report
event.

Reports!reportname.OpenArgs
Me.OpenArgs
rpt.OpenArgs

I've tried all three in most of the report's events after opening it via
the form and the setting isn't making it to the form. Any clue what I'm
doing wrong?

Susan H.
