Build your report. You must include the [project_id] field in its data source. When the report is done, place a button named btnReport on the form and add a code event procedure: Private Sub btnReport_Click() DoCmd.OpenReport "ReportName", , , "[project_id] = " & Me![project_id] End Sub mfG --> stefan <--

Then check whether you have the data source of your report crafted correctly and that you have specified the parameter for the OpenReport in the right command order. It must be the fourth parameter: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa220304%28office.11%29.aspx mfG --> stefan <--
