Report Design/Lookup Data
I have built a database to keep track of employee work refusal. My report
shows all employees. I want to be able to type in a name and pull up all information by that name and not have to view all employees. Does anyone have a suggestion? |

Base the Report on a Query which uses a criterion such as [Enter employee name:] as a criterion. Or - better, since it will avoid problems with spelling out the whole name and getting it right - create a small unbound form frmCrit, with a combo box cboEmployee. This combo should display the employee's name but should have the unique EmployeeID as its bound column. Use a Query with a criterion =Forms!frmCrit!cboEmployee as a criterion on the employeeID; base the Report on this query, and put a command button on frmCrit to launch the report. This will let you just pull the name from a list rather than having to type it all in. John W.

You can use a query for the record source of your report, and enter a
parameter for the criteria of the employee name. By doing that, you will be prompted for an employee name automatically when you run the report.
