crosstab query asks for parameters when i save it

hey guys, just a quick question about a peculiar behaviour of Access. when i edit my already working cross tab query and then i press ctrl + s, it asks me for the parameters again and runs itself, but doesn't display any results.

Question: why does a cross tab query run when i save it?

Hi Lawrence, thanks for that! i was thinking that after i defined Column Headers it won't prompt anymore but still wasn't the case ha.

Hi Pat, whao i didn't know that the crosstab queries need to have the parameters defined. thanks! = )

Hi Dale! Dale my crosstab query is based on other sub queries and sub-sub queries etc. in those sub / sub-sub queries there are parameters and they are already defined. however in my crosstab query i don't define them again. they seem to work fine.

why would i need to define the parameters in the cross tab query again even though i'm not using them in the cross tab query itself? (not talking about the sub / sub-sub queries)

thanks in advance! = )

i joined Pat, Lawrence and Dale's answer together with Allen Browne's article and specific testing for Access 2007 to arrive at this conclusion at the moment
