Docmd.OpenRepor t with the use of an external query

Dear reader,

The syntax for Docmd.OpenRepor t is:

OpenReport(Repo rtName, View, FilterName, WhereCondition, WindowMode,
OpenArgs)

Example

The following example prints Sales Report while using the existing query
Report Filter.

DoCmd.OpenRepor t "Sales Report", acViewNormal, "Report Filter"

Report Filter" is an existing query with record for the report but still the
report is empty.

What is wrong?

Thanks for any help

Kind regards,

Simon

What you've posted is straight out of the help files. Do you seriously
have a working query (returns records) called "Report Filter", a
report named "Sales Report"? Beyond that there are a number of things
that could be wrong. Are there controls on the report? Do they
reference the correct fields in the query? Are you expecting it to
open on screen or just automatically printed?

If the query is in the property record source of the report it works
perfect.
And I am looking for a solution that I can use one report layout with
different queries as record source

I also ran into this problem once.
I guess the filter wants to *filter* your original recordsource.
So make your report's recordsource so that all the filters you use are subsets of that data.

If you can't do a query where all the filters are a subset of the report's
record source, set the record source to a generic query then change that
query def before opening the report.
