I am trying to make a report with parameters. I have added the parameter fields and the formula fields but I still do not see the parameters when loading the report. Does anyone have any ideas?

Typically the report gets its paramaters from a query...set up a paramater query and then construct your report off of the query...when you open the report the query will prompt for the designated paramaters.

Let me know if this helps and if you need additional input

After adding paramter fields to the report, you need to refer the fields in report. Once you have parameter field being used somewhere in the report, you will be asked for parameters when as you refresh the report.

Hi John--thanks for your help. Could you tell me how to create a parameter query. Do I do this on the database or somewhere in visual studio .net? How do I link the default parameters to the query? Also is there a way to bypass entering parameters? For example when someone presses cancel the whole report is shown.
thanks Lauren
