I’ve got an existing Access MDB. I’m adding a command button to an existing Form that runs an existing report. The change being made is that this button needs to pass in a parameter containing the ID of the record being reported on – currently the report runs on every record in the MDB.

I’ve altered the Query that the report runs on to use a parameter for the ID value, so that now when the button is clicked Access prompts for the record ID to report on, and the report displays like it should.

However, I can’t for the life of me figure out how to pass a parameter into the report for the query to use. How can I do this?

  1. The DoCmd.OpenReport method has various arguments, one of which is a Where statement:

    DoCmd.OpenReport'rptReport', acViewPreview,,'ID=' & Me.ID

    That is

    expression.OpenReport(ReportName, View, FilterName, WhereCondition, WindowMode, OpenArgs)
