Trying to refer to a parameter value on a report

[degras]

Hi,
I am trying to refer to a parameter value on a report, to use as part of a filename.

Here is the code:
DoCmd.OpenReport "Projects", acViewPreview, , , , "NoGroup"
MyFileName = "Green Team Weekly Report - " & [Reports]![Projects].[Start Date] & ".pdf"

"Start Date" is the parameter name. But i am getting an error:
ms access cannot find the field "|"referred to in your expression

How is it possible at this point in the code to refer to this parameter value?



Thanks.

generically - yes. but..... sanity check time - is there multiple records sharing that control? - then the answer is no - cause it doesn't know which one to use....

if there is only one record, it should work if the Report is fully opened.....

so that value is coming from the record source - have you attempted to reference the record source rather than the report?
