Passing a VBA variable as a parameter in an Access query design

Tags: query, vba, access, variable, parameters
I am attempting to create a report that shows benefits that a member has participated in as well as the benefits that were availabe but weren't used.  I have two tables.  One has all of the activities a member has participated in (there is an ID key).  The second table has all of the benefits available.  I have created an unmatched query to show which benefits weren't used and a query that shows which were used.  I have created a union query that combines the benefits used and those that were not used.  The problem is the unmatched query does not show a member id.  I can make this work on a member by member instance by using a parameter in a form but there are thousands of statements.  I need a separate statement per member.  I was thinking I could create a script that loops through the membership and pass the parameter to the query each time.  This way the query would execute one by one.  I understand this would take time to process but this is not an issue.  Is there a way to reference a parameter from VBA to the criteria in the design grid of a query or do I need to perform all of my queries in VBA?  Sorry for such a long monologue.  I am hoping my detail might help if I am heading in the wrong direction. Thanks much for any help.
