I built a report with one parameter being a menu of names, and the default value being <ALL>

Clients wanted the default to be the person logged in.

I can easily get User!UserID the default for a text box, but if I change the menu from names to IDs, it will not pre-select it on the menu. Instead, it adds the “” thing to the top of the menu.

Same thing if I make the defalut value the output of a query for which the input is the user ID.

Summary: If non-queried default is a literal, it works for menu or for text box.

If it is Non-queried =User!UserID it only works for text box.

If it is From query, it only works for text box.

    Duh!

    The menu has values and labels.

    The section for the default clearly says value, not label !

    Color me silly.
