    Filtering report using a form with combo boxes

    Hi



    I'm new to access. I've got a form [Performance Dynamic Report Builder] that has 3 combo boxes on it [specialty], [gender] and [grade]. I would like to be able to filter my report [Dynamic Specialty Performance] using up to 3 combo boxes. Sometimes only 1 box will be used so the other 2 will be blank, sometimes 2 will be used etc.

    Thank

    Hi June7

    Thanks for this but it's not exactly what I'm looking for. I need it for 3 combo boxes that may or may not be selected.

    The technique should work with comoboxes as well. The key point is use of wildcard in the query parameters.
