What is the command to set the record source? As a test I've started typing: If [Forms]![frmrpt_quarterly]![FrameChoices] = 8 Then I'm not sure how to set the recordset...I had thought that I had to use the form name as a control, but it isn't taking it. >>> bheid at appdevgrp.com 4/11/2005 1:55:34 PM >>> Lambert had a neat idea. What I do is to have the different queries (either SQL text or actual queries). I then set the recordsource for the report in the OnOpen event of the report. In your case, I would have a select statement that gets it's values form the calling form. The select statement would then set a variable to the query name or actually set the recordsource.

Design you single, master report, and all the various versions of the query needed to select the subsets of results. Then bind the report to a copy of one of the queries. You could name the query copy "FinalOutPut_qry", or whatever. Then, when you want to run any one version of the report, your code will check which version of the query is needed and then use... DoCmd.CopyObject ,"FinalOutput_qry",acQuery, "NameOfTheQueryThatSelectsWhatYouWant" i.e. you copy the query that select the records you need to the 'disposable' query named ,"FinalOutput_qry", or whatever, to which the report is bound. The nice thing about this is that it works for MDE as well as MDB files.
