I am assuming you have a parameter in the query? BTW the "Duh" refers to me, not you

And also, importantly, you need to have the form open when you run the query. If you are running the query manually, you will be prompted for Forms!frmCriteria!cboMonth, but in VBA you would get a missing parameter error, I believe, if frmCriteria was not open.

Many thanx and sorry for the delayed response,

I have removed the parameter from the query and the information is now exported for that specific month as intended. However as I have removed the parameter from the query - when I open the form it no longer returns/filters the records based on the parameter chosen from the combobox accordingly which will allow the users to report on that specific month.

Therefore I was going to ask for some advice. Should I just create another query with this parameter in place which will be called when the form is opened or is there some way to programatically pass the value in.

Many thanks

could u post the underlying SQL statement of your query? That would enable me to give u a more intelligent answer to your question.

Many thanks for your help and apologise for the delay.

My manager decided it would be better to remove the availabilty of users being able to select which month they would be reporting for. Therefore I have managed to pass this value automatically passed for the reporting month.

Again many thanks for your help
