Multiple Parameters

[ampickel]

Hello,

I set up a database to keep track of athletes for a soccer camp and I am
trying to run a query in which I am prompted to choose male or female or
both, and than also day camp or high school camp or both. Each of these
fields is a yes/no field. I can get one parameter to work but not the other
one when I run it. Any advise on how to make this work?

Is this query the record source of a form or report? What is the actual
table structure? Do you have separate columns for Male, Female, and Both?

IMHO, parameter prompts are never advisable in applications.

Yes the query is going to be the source for a report. The table is
structured with first and last names, address, basically all information
reguarding the athlete. I have two colums, one for male and one for female,
both are yes/no fields, (check boxes), and two columns, one for day camp and
one for high school camp. What I want to do is run the query so that I can
pull records in any combination, for example all male day campers, or all
female high school campers or all high school campers. I can do one
parameter just fine and I know the null option to get both, but when I add
the other parameter my queries come up blank.

I think it's a mistake to have two fields for gender. You should have one
[Gender] field with values like "M" or "F". The same is true for camper
type. You then provide the user with a form that allows selection of various
criteria. Use code to create a Where Condition to be used in the
DoCmd.OpenReport method.
