I am Using Access 07.
I have a split form that my users are able to filter and sort using the Access right click options. Then when they have the datasheet filtered the way they like they select a report from a dropdown. The report opens and fills in the appropriate info. The problem is I need to retail the order from the split form. The report orders by the first field. The report is based off a query. I really just want something to add to OnOpen so the report is a mirror of the Form. I have tried, Me.Filter = " " but it doesn't work.

I am not sure what to do with this code. I do not have a button, I only have a combo filled with reports.
<On the form button that opens the report put code like this:
< DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
< DoCmd.OpenReport "YourReport", acViewPreview, , , , Me.Filter
For "YourReport I cannot distinguish one from another because I do not know which on the user is selecting.
The combo uses a macro to open the report and its RowSource is:
SELECT MSysObjects.Name FROM MSysObjects WHERE (((MSysObjects.Name) Not Like "*Subreport*") AND ((MSysObjects.Type)=-32764

I will presume that Both the Report and the Form have the exact same recordsource.
On the form button that opens the report put code like this:
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
DoCmd.OpenReport "YourReport", acViewPreview, , , , Me.Filter
...Then on the Report Open event, put code like this:
If Not IsNull(Me.OpenArgs) Then
Me.Filter = Me.OpenArgs
Me.FilterOn = True
End If
...This basically passes the Form's filter to the report.
