>>>HI!
>>>I am using parametrized view but the only thing I dont't understand is how can I set the parameters initially when the form is executed. I don't have any problem with REQUERY. Its just the initialization that asks me for an input value. I am wondering how can I assign a value prior to this.

Honestly, I rarely use local views :) (remote ones is another story).
