When I run my form, a box opens up to accept the parameter for my cursoradapter. I key in the initial parameter and the form opens and displays the selected data. It all seems to work fine, but to display another list, I would just like to key in my next parameter into the textbox and click the button.

Hi, Ronald.

You have to delay the call to CursorFill(). Instead of letting the parameters inputbox pop-up, put a textbox in your form and a button to read data. On the button click, call a method (don't put this code on the Click event, please) which creates the parameter variable, assings it the textbox.value, and then calls the CA CursorFill() method.

Hope this helps,
