Paramater Query with drop down menu

C

CCWilson

I want to create a parameter query that prompts for a value that you can
select from a drop down menu. Can anyone help?

IMHO, don't ever use parameter prompts in queries. You can't use drop downs,
you can't easily provide defaults, you can't check for reasonable entries,...

Use controls on forms for all user interaction.

CC,

Access doesn't have that capability. You need to set something up using a
form and combobox.

Yes you can do that. Use this syntax: [Forms]![Form1]![text0]

Where [Form1] is your form name and [Text0] is the controlname, usually a
textbox or combobox.

Do I reference that form in the criteria for that field?
