Karen, I'd use a search form -- a simple form with just a couple of controls -- one that lets you express the criteria, a list box or combo box (which sounds like the right way for you in this instance) that then populates with the matching results. You can then use a control event or a command button to launch the report. Susan H. > >From a patient database in Access 2003, I want to pick the right patient > >for a report of individual details.
