Change Text in Parameter Dialogue Box

[Traceyann]

Hi
Hope somebody is able to help me with this? I have a parameter query set up to open a report from a form via a command button(print preview report)to show/print a single record that I am viewing in a form.
Explanation:- Form called "Purchase Orders" I enter a new Purchase Order then want to print preview this particular record so have set up a report, I then click the command button on the form "print preview" and the parameter dialogue box pops up .This all works very well but wondered if there is a way to change the text that appears in the parameter dialogue box to make it user friendly ie "Enter Purchase Order Number"


This is what I have in the criteria of the query "[Forms]![Purchase Orders]![ Purchase Order Number]"
Thanks in Advance

Would this work for you?

Then the user doesn't have to enter anything.

Thank you but I have no experience of code at all although I have tried to get my head around it a wee while ago to no avail. Thanks for the help though!

Well if you're getting a parameter prompt, either the form isn't open or something is spelled wrong.

The parameter prompt is correct -I just want to to be able to change the text in it to something more user friendly?

I'm confused, because you can have any text you want on the form. It sounds like you're referring to a form but not actually using one. If that's the case change it to:

[Enter purchase order number]
