[AccessD] Automating parameterized action queries.....DATE?!

Ken,

thnx again...but I found out why it didn't return
anything. A real DOH! moment :-)
Here's the code from my class:
      If Not dtmNewBusinessDate = "00:00:00" Then
            mdtmNewBusinessDate = dtmNewBusinessDate
         End If
      Else
         NewBusinessDate = mdtmNewBusinessDate
      End If

The IF NOT statement should always be true. So the
code in the IF THEN statement is always executed...but
then it doesn't return the value!!!!! it only does it
in the ELSE part. DOH!

Thnx.

Btw I cannot use the Public oRptParam As NEW
cReportParams line. Because it is possible that
multiple reports are run within the same instance of a
form...meaning that the object isn't destroyed and the
last value is automagicly used.

Regards,

Sander
