report showing whats on form

I have a form that when I open it up I am asked to type a part number in and then it will display anything that has that part number on the form. I want to create a report that will display exactly what the form is displaying. I am not sure how to go about this. I know how to create reports to open specific records and things like that but I am not sure how to create the report to display what the form is showing. Is this possible?

In the open event of your Report set the appropriate property equal to the same property in your form. If you are using an SQL statement with a WHERE condition: `Me.RecordSource = Forms!YourFormName.RecordSource` If you are using a Filter: `Me.Filter = Forms!YourFormName.Filter Me.FilterOn = True`

Hi Kevin,

None of those worked for me. The form is based off of a query. The query has one table with 3 fields, Part_Number, Part_ThorShop, & Part_Price. I have the criteria for Part_ThorShop set to Like "*" & [Made From] & "*" When I open the form and type c110 I get every part that uses the c110 displayed on the form. I now need to have that same information display on the report. What would you suggest?

Regards,
Mark

When you run the report it should still ask you for your input and if the report is using the query as its source it should pull the same info into the report as you get when you run the query. Are you sure the report is pulling from the query and not from tables or other sources?

Hi Debra, I made a mistake. The query does not have the input in its criteria, the record source of the on click to open the form has that criteria in its record source. The report is pulling from the same query.
