As you can see, I'm back to being a novice at Access since I haven't done anything with it since 2000, on Office XP.

However, I'm trying to make queries on this new DB where the user who is logged into the db can query the db for tasks created by a specific user name that they select via a combo box / list box / or a 'yes/no' type field for the user name to be selected.

I'm planning on making this query selection on a form that the user can select after selecting a command button on a switchboard to open the form.

Anyone know how this can be done?

For example, create your form, and then use the combo box wizard to look up the user field in the table you are basing the query on. This should take the PK for the User, like UserID.

Then in the query based on the look up for, in the criteria line for the UserID field, for example, do this:

[Forms]![frmMyUserForm].[cboUserCombo]

When the query opens it will take the value from the combo box with the user look up by itself.

Did this help?

This command, I put it in the 'on click' for the command button named "search" right?

The on click event just opens the report. The [Forms]![frmMyUserForm].[cboUserCombo] line should be in the query on the criteria line for the field the user is selecting for.

Ok, thanks. Going to try that one this morning. Thanks for the help with my many questions.
