Do you have a control on the dashboard that can be used to provide the query
paramter? I.E. the query criteria would be [Forms]![DashBoardForm]!
[cboAgency]. Otherwise, try duplicating the underlying SQL and construct a
new record source string based on user input. You can specify the where
clause in the OpenForm command but if the underlying query requires a
parameter, Access doesn't know that these two things are linked.
