A little help on an operator

[troy_lee]

I am passing a value from a combo box on a report initiation form to a
query which is the record source for the report.

My question is how do I pass the combo box value with an operator. I
want to pass this: <>59.

The query will run if I use 59, but will not run with <>59. Ideally, I
want to use the Like statement before the form's control reference in
the query criteria field so I can also run a "*" for all records. I
have tried everything I can think of but no success with the operator
and number criteria.

Thanks in advance.

You cannot pass the <operator, but you can include it in the query
criteria.

WHERE YourTable.Field Name <>[Forms!FormName! ControlName] OR
[Forms!FormName! ControlName] Is Null

If you do not enter anything in the form control all records will be
returned.
If you enter a number value in the control, just those records will
NOT be returned.

You might create a report with a recordsource like
Select * From Table1

There's no filter, just all the records.

Now when you open the report, you might set the filter
Me.Filter = "Status <59"
Me.FilterOn = True

If you are using a current version of Access, you can pass the argument
to the report. Docmd.OpenRepor t "x",,,,,"<5 9"
If Not IsNull(Me.OpenA rgs) then
Me.Filter = "status " & Me.OpenArg
Me.FilterON = true
Endif
