How do I?

I want to create a report, but I need the user to select the reference of the
report from a drop down menu, similar to that which is used to enter a value
in a form, etc.

This is probably something really easy to do, but I cannot figure out how to
set it up.

Thanks for your help.

Dear TJ,
the way I do it:
I create a "popup" form where I create one or more selection criteria
through dropdown-menus.
Give every selection a specificname as ChoiceDate, ChoiceName, ChoiceFrom....
This way you can eventualy create a "periodical" report with the "between...
and..." instruction.
Create on that "popup" a new button to go to the report based on a query
with the "Choice.." things from the popup as filteringcriteria in your
query-condition line
Similarily your can use p.e. an option box or combination of different
selection possibilties.

Good luck
Marc

This is exactly what i want to do, buy I need you to put it in plainer
english or VBA code for me, it is Monday and I just cannot get my mind around
how to do this. Also I am a very virgin Access developer.

THanks.
