Send parameter to VB Data Report (VB 6.0)
I'm developing a simple system which uses VB for the interface + data report and MS ACCESS as the database. I have created an interface for searching purpose and manage to create a data report from VB. My problem is that...i'm suppose to send a parameter from the searching screen as to filter the result data in the data report.... i do not know how...
This will be the database query:
SELECT ItemName
FROM dbo.tblmstExpenses
WHERE (MONTH(ReceiveDate) = @date)
The Questions will be:
1. Can anybody help me to integrate the Searching Interface with the Data Report by sending a parameter from the Searching Screen.
2. Do I have to add-in any References or Components...
3. Help me with the steps and syntax please....
Thank You

Ok, looks like x50Fade's answer covers everything.
but anyway...
Section1 is default Details section on Data Report. you can rename it as any other control. So check what name you have for Details Section ( it should be like "Details (theActualName)" ).
put RptTextBox Controls on Detail Section. There will appear your report's data. Rename those controls if you wish. That name comes instead of "col1" in my example.

As I said...hehe
I gave full solution and x50Fade helped as well.
I think split will be fair.
