Store Value of Input For a Report

[Proaccesspro]

Hello All,

I have a report that allows the user the ability to find all orders that are over a certain days old. It is up to the user to determine how many days back they want to go. (It is a input parameter to the query). How can I capture their input and then use that value in the HEADER of a report....SO, if they were to input 45, the report header would read "Orders 45 Days Old"

You need to make a parameter declaration at the beginning of the query. For example ...

PARAMETERS [NumDays] Long;
SELECT DateField, OtherField
FROM TableName
WHERE (((DateField)<= Now()-[NumDays]));

Now to refer to it on the form just use an unbound textbox and set control source to ...

=[NumDays]
