Passing Value from the form to a report query

[Mike]

I have to pass a date from a form to a report query. I have written a
query that works fine when I execute from SQL view, But I dont know
how to pass a value from the form to this query.

SELECT Production.Production
FROM Production
WHERE (((Production.Date)=Forms!ReportForm!reportDate) And
((Production.ShiftName)="Shift1"));
I search so many mails in this group, but I didn't find a simple
answer to my problem.

Thanks

Mike

I'm not sure what the problem is, but if the query runs fine then the
report should also. Are you closing the form when you run the report?
If so, is hiding the form before opening the report an option? Will you
be using the form again?

Chris,

Thanks for the response.

Query runs fine in the Sql view because it prompts for date which I
enter and get the
desired output from the undermentioned query.
SELECT Production.Production
FROM Production
WHERE (((Production.Date)=Forms!ReportForm!reportDate) And
((Production.ShiftName)="Shift1"));

However, I need to pass this value from a form(text field) to this
query and once I click
on the show report button in the form, form closes and report pops up
with the results base on above query.

Actually, the application that I am trying to develop will need much
more complicated query
than the one shown above, but I have to go step by step.
Thanks

Mike

As Chris already told you, don't close the form but hide it or do otherwise.
You can also close the form when the report is closed.

I change the command and now form does not close.
But I dont know why still

Forms!ReportForm!reportDate (where reportDate is a text field) is not
able to pass the value from the form to the report query.

SELECT Production.Production
FROM Production
WHERE (((Production.Date)=Forms!ReportForm!reportDate) And
((Production.ShiftName)="Shift1"));

Is there any way to test what is being passed to the where clause in the
Form.

Please help I am stuck on this from 2 days...

Sure there is... Just stick a MsgBox in right before the report
opens. In the report's open event, add:

MsgBox "The value is: " & Forms!ReportForm!reportDate

and see what you get.

One other thing, Mike. I just read your post again and I see that
you're passing a date to your report. Make sure you wrap the date
with pound signs (#) in your code or use the CDate function in your
SQL.

WHERE (((Production.Date)=CDate(Forms!ReportForm!reportD ate)) And
