Jerry said:Yes. Put the search parameter in a text box on a form. Then in the criteria
of the appropriate fields in the queries, put something like below that calls
on the text box.
[Forms]![frmParameter]![txtParameter]
You could also put a button on the form to run code or a macro which will
open all the queries.
The form must remain open for this to work. It can be minimized or even
invisable though.I would like to use one search parameter; more than likely product name to
search multiple queries on a single form. Possible?
Thanks

In the criteria for the queries I inserted:
[forms]![CurrentProducts]![Text26]
On the form, for the new field text26 i inserted: [Enter Product Name] in
the Control Source As the Parameter.
When ran I am not prompted for the product name and inside text box 26 i
am
given an error " #Name?"
What did I do wrong??
Thanks

Under the properties of the text box there are the following headings:
format,
data, event, other, and all.. Is it in one of these categories that the
information is entered..

John said:You do not enter anything in the properties of the control.
When the form is open in input mode you will type the value you want as
criteria into the control.
In the query, the parameter would be
[Forms]!]The Name of your form]![The name of the control on the form]
If the form is open the query will be able to get the value that is typed
into the control and use that.
In the query grid (design view), I would expect to see
Field: SomeField
Criteria: [Forms]!]The Name of your form]![The name of the control on the
form]
If you typed"Socrates" into the control on the form and then run the query
it would search the field for "Socrates" and return records with that value
in that field.[quoted text clipped - 11 lines]I am not understanding where the parmater is entered....
