Help with querydef and parameter query

[AP]

I use the following snippet to open a build a querydef. This works
great with a query that has a parameter that points to a form, but if I
try to use it in a parameter query, even if the parameter is defined I
get the following error

2482 Access cant find the name 'enter year' you entered in your
expression.
'This is the code snippet I use to open see below for an example of
the query that will not work.

strSQL_a = "Select * from [" & query_name & "]"
qdf_a.SQL = strSQL_a

'Loop through all query parameters
For Each prm In qdf_a.Parameter s
prm.Value = Eval(prm.Name)
Next prm

Set A_rs = qdf_a.OpenRecor dset

'Query that will not work
PARAMETERS [enter year] Short;
SELECT tblDetail.*
FROM tblDetail
WHERE (((tblDetail.YE AR)=[enter year]));
