Create Recordset from Recordset and Pass Recordset to Report

I have not coded anything yet, but was wondering if it was at all possible to use recordset and create another recordset based on additional parameters. It will not be a clone of the original recordset. Once I have narrowed down the recordset, I was thinking of passing the recordset to a report versus creating a temporary table for the report due to the overhead associated the database expanding.

Hi!
In help you can find an example, se attachment.
You can for instance create a query and get the recordset, and then make a new narrower query on that and get the recordset again.
The function CopyQueryNew() has parameters recordset and SQL clause.
It will add the filters etc to the original ones (if any)
Is this what you was looking for?

Best regards
Nils.

Function CopyQueryNew(rstTemp As Recordset, _
    strAdd As String) As QueryDef
 
    Dim strSQL As String
    Dim strRightSQL As String
 
    Set CopyQueryNew = rstTemp.CopyQueryDef
    With CopyQueryNew
        ' Strip extra characters.
        strSQL = .SQL
        strRightSQL = Right(strSQL, 1)
        Do While strRightSQL = " " Or strRightSQL = ";" Or _
                strRightSQL = Chr(10) Or strRightSQL = vbCr
            strSQL = Left(strSQL, Len(strSQL) - 1)
            strRightSQL = Right(strSQL, 1)
        Loop
        .SQL = strSQL & strAdd
    End With
 
End Function
 
Set qdfCopy = CopyQueryNew(rstEmployees, strOrderBy)

No...that's not it. I'm looking to start with a complete recordset and append records to an empty recordset. My biggest problem is our SQL backend database which has 800K records. Since the Access DB is on a network and used by more than 35 people, I have elected to use VBA to link to the SQL DB. I can use limited parameters to query the SQL DB and create a recordset. However, based on user input, I need to refine the recordset. I was hoping to be able to append to an empty record and then pass the recordset onto a report.
