    <p>In my not so humble opinion, parameters are handled badly in MS Access.</p> <p>I think having to enter the values in the query whenever it is run (unless it is a one off experimental query) is just wrong headed. It would be so much easier to automate reports like that if you could just pass the parameters.</p> <p>Typically, I create a report without the parameters in the where clause of the query, and then pass in your own where condition which gets added on <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/398854/685">Remou's answer here</a></p> <p>You could also alter the query in the report before you call it, but that's pretty hackey.</p> <p>-- Edit --</p> <p>I see the confusion. I interpreted what you were doing as a report (not a form).</p> <p>What's likely happening is you that when it tries to render/format the print job, it's having to make multiple calls to form's record source. And that why it keeps asking you for that data.</p> <p>From what I understand in your question, you have a query that looks like this:</p> <pre><code>select foo from bar where yaddah_date between [Start Date] and [End Date] </code></pre> <p>And then you've used that query as the record source for a form that you are trying to latter print as a PDF. First of all you should probably create a report that is an analogue of the form. And then open the report for printing with a filter on it:</p> <pre><code>DoCmd.OpenReport "myReport", , , , _ "yaddah_date between " &amp; txtStartDate &amp; _ " and " &amp; txtEndDate </code></pre> <p>(the last part is basically the filter/where clause that report will apply to the results of the query that's generating its data).</p> <p>If you MUST print the form, you can do something similar </p> <pre><code>DoCmd.OpenForm "foo", acNormal, , _ "yaddah_date between " &amp; txtStartDate &amp; _ " and " &amp; txtEndDate </code></pre> <p>Or you can set the <code>filter</code> property of the form/subform.</p>

    1. COThank you for your response. I checked out the link you gave, but I'm a little unclear as to what this would do and where I would implement it. I'm not too familiar with implementing back-end solutions. Could you explain? Thank you!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
