Parameter query gone nuts AGAIN!!
Hello peeps. Please forgive me if this is a simple thing but trust me I have tried everything that sorted this similar problem last time.
Problem is: I have an invoice report generated from a parameter query. The parameters asked for are [Enter Customer ID]
Between [Enter Start Date]and[Enter End Date].
Right the other day I changed something on my report and then it started asking me for another parameter. Anyway I received help form this forum about what the problem was. Which was I had something different written in the control source.
I fixed that.
Now when i was going through my database to see if everything else was ok, I noticed that one of the field names in my JobDetails table had a space in it. I changed it to have no spaces as I have read that you are not supposed to have spaces in the titles of fields. The field was TOTAL COST which I changed to TOTALCOST. Not much difference. (This is not a CALCULATED FIELD, just a field that holds the price of each job we have done. WE run a Courier Company). So when I went to do an invoice I started getting the EXtra parameter again this time asking me for the TOTAL COST. Now I can't be entering the total cost into a parameter as all the job prices on each invoice will be the same and not what is stored in the JobDetails table..
I have checked the control source and there is nothing wrong with it. Someone suggested checking the Sorting and grouping but I didn't do any of that sorting and grouping when I designed the report with the design wizard. So what am I looking for in the grouping and sorting box if this is what I am supposed to be looking at??
Could someone let me know please as this is EXTREMELY URGENT!!! I have got to start invoicing again on FRIDAY. I have printed out plenty of invoice reports before I changed the title in my TOTAL COST field and they came out perfect so I can't see what is wrong with it.
Please let me know what I need to do to rectify this problem and if I have to go into the sorting and grouping what exactly am I looking for and doing in the sorting and grouping box????
Please help me
