Parameters are ignored when export & email command buttons are use

[Andy]

Access 2003, WIn XP
Hi,
My code is below. I needed to take a break from this to clear my head but I
am back. I can view my report on screen and the report only has data based
on my user's parameter inputs. However, when the user clicks on the "Output
Report" or "Mail Report" buttons, the parameter inputs are ignored and the
report that is either exported or emailed has the data from the entire table.

Is anyone able to show me why the parameters are followed when viewing the
report on screen but the parameters are ignored when exporting or emailing?
Thanks.

Andy

Please note that your DoCmd.OpenReport command includes strWhere as an
argument, so this information is passed to the report as it is opened.
In contrast, your DoCmd.OutputTo command does not include the strWhere
information. Therefore, the entire report is transmitted.
To my knowledge, there is no way to include a filter string like this in
the OutputTo command. However, if you include references to the controls
which display the filter information in the query underlying the report (and
of course the form is open at the time you run the report), these parameters
will be applied to the report both when it is displayed on the screen and
when it is sent out.
