I am struggling to learn to use Access almost on my own, and have
written a query that needs to have a parameter. The query I wrote
includes [Please enter facility code] in the Criteria of the design
view, under the column that would contain the Facility Code. When I
run the query, the 'enter parameter value' box comes up twice,
rquiring the parameter to be entered twice before the information is
displayed. I hope I'm explaining this correctly. Can someone direct me
to a solution to this small problem? Thanks!

re: help with parameter value queries


Most likely the problem is within the way you constructed your query.
Please post the query so someone can help you further.

I'm assuming your problem is that you don't want the parameter box to
display twice, correct? If you had opened the query and then done a
sort or filter on the results and then saved/closed the query it will
"remember" it's last sort/filter state. Sometimes a sort/filter will
require the parameters anew. To fix this open the query, in results
view, & right-click & select Remove Sort/Filters, then close the
query. This may solve the problem.
