>I have another question, if I used to have a form that queried on three fields and used three seperate view parameter dialog boxes one at a time to ask the user for input, would it be easy to use one form with three text boxes the way i am doing it now?

Much easier, and I dare say smoother for your users, to use a single dialog with three fields rather than three separate ones. Just make sure each field maps to a different parameter/variable name, or the queries might get confused.
