Hi Jack,

>I'm not sure, but think I can get the variable into the query (I'm still not sure what doquery really does), but how will my users get it on the report?

DoQuery is a place to put code that will create a cursor to use in your report. Try adding a field to your report, and in the expression put: lcFilter If that doesn't work (I can't tell you for sure) You'll need to add the column to your cursor that you create in do query:

select ect, lcFilter as FilterExpression ect.

Then add a field to your report oand for the expression put: FilterExpression
