    Modify to use 1 query

    Short version:
    I want to use 1 query with a change in criteria difference. This way I can drop 1 report.

    I have been clicking CB1 to open qry1 with output on rpt1 and
    CB2 to open qry2 with output on rpt2

    QRY1 and QR2 have the same fields, but with differing criteria. Report1 and Report2 are the same but look at different query for information.

    Example
    Query1 - Criteria - <> X in Column 1
    Query2 - Criteria - <> Y in Column 1 and = X in Column 2



    Command Button1 opens Query1 and spits out Report1
    Command Button2
    opens Query2 and spits out Report2

    I would like to click CB1 to open Query1 with qry criteria and spit out info in Report1 and
    click CB2 to open Query1 with QR2 criteria and spit out info in Report1

    Basically making 1 query with changing criteria pushing information to 1 report.

    I would probably take the criteria out of the query and just use appropriate versions of this:

    Paul,
    I'm not using a second form. if I can get 1 query to change criteria depending on what button is selected, then I can use 1 form.

    I mean to use that method to open a single report with different criteria. Using your examples:

    DoCmd.OpenReport "ReportName",,, "Field <> 'X'"
    DoCmd.OpenReport "ReportName",,, "Field <> 'Y' AND OtherField = 'X'"

    Thanks Paul,
    I'll give it a shot.

    "Field <> 'Y' AND OtherField = 'X'" ..... meaning I need to put in all the fields, or only the ones where the criteria changes?

    You put in whatever criteria you want applied in each instance.
