    Angry access 2007 macro


    I have built 12 queries that obtain data from the same 2 tables but for 12 different reports. I have created 12 separate reports as well. I want to run all 12 queries/reports at once. I have set up a filter in which I enter 'from' and 'to' dates, but I have to do this for each query/report. I want to build a macro that will run all 12 reports at once, and all I'll have to do is manually enter the dates one time at the beginning of the macro. I can not get the date filter at the beginning of the macro to operate successfully - keep getting error message. Where can I get good resource data that will help me with this macro? The Microsoft online help doesn't cut it.

    What I would do is create a form to enter the dates on, and have each of the queries get them from there. You could fire off your macro from a button on that form.

    OK. Not sure I follow the relationship of the form to the macro. Should have told you I'm a novice at Access so I don't yet understand a lot of the basics. Will need a good reference book for 2007. What would you recommend?

    Still trying to figure it out. I'm not familiar with how the form would be created or would work with the macro. Can you suggest a good reference book for Access 2007? Thanks.

    I haven't read any books recently. Just create a form from the Create tab. Add two textboxes to it. I'd give them a date format on the Format tab. Your queries would have a criteria of

    Between Forms!FormName.FirstTextboxName And Forms!FormName.SecondTextboxName

    On the form, add a button that runs your macro.

    I created the form, inserted the text boxes, but from that point I'm lost.

    The query in design view has a row called criteria. For the date field you want filtered, add what I typed above into the criteria, changing the names to yours.

    You told me to create a form with text boxes. No criteria row that I can find.
