    Parameters

    Is there a way to include text in a parameter query?

    I have a query with [Which Issue Type]



    I would like to put in the prompt examples of what they need to type in

    etc. COF, Design

    How do I add text after the parameter?

    Everything in the brackets is your text. You can do:

    [Which Issue Type (COF, Design, etc)]

    Most of us use forms instead of bracketed parameters, in part because you can validate the user's input. In this case, you could use a combo box that limited them to valid choices.
