Problem is, everytime I try to open the form, a window pops up asking for the value of the variable, which I don't want because the value is selected by the user from a Combo box. A way around this is declaring the variable and asigning it a ' ' value in the button that opens the form, before the DO FORM command. This works OK but I feel there should be a more 'elegant' solution to this. Some one said that 'if it works, it's OK', but still I'd like to see a different aproach.

That is the way the view parameters works - you have to declare it before opening the view, or else you get the undesired dialog.

Note that you can also initially open the view with:

USE MyView NODATA

and later define the variable, and requery().
