    Passing report parameters to chart


    Hey all - I've created a pretty simple report whose recordsource is a query with parameters. I added a chart to the report to represent the data graphically, but when I open the report, I get prompted to enter the parameter twice, once for the report and once for the chart(the chart and the report are based off of the same query). Is there any way to just take report parameter and just pass it through to the chart so that the prompt does not come up twice? Or am I going about this wrong way completely? Thanks.

    Most of us would use a form to gather user input, and have the query get its criteria from there.
