Hi.
However, that approach does not seem to work if i want to display the query
parameters on a form.
This isn't the answer you want to hear, but there's no way to retrieve the
parameters that were used to create the record source for the form, because
the query "has already run." The workaround is to add these parameters as
field names in the query so that text boxes can be bound to these fields on
the form. For example:
PARAMETERS [PopState] Text ( 10 );
SELECT Population, [Enter City:], PopState
FROM tblPopulations
WHERE ((City Like "*" & [Enter City:] & "*") AND (State LIKE "*" & PopState
& "*"));
As you can see, it will work with both formal parameters and input parameters.
HTH.

Hello.
Ive displayed the parameters of a query on a report before, simply by
entering the name of the parameter in the control source of a textbox.
However, that approach does not seem to work if i want to display the query
parameters on a form.
