Displaying Parameter Values in a Microsoft Access Report
Including Parameter Values in a Report
This exercise is for Access users who have some experience with parameter queries and creating their own reports. A parameter prompts the end user to enter criteria each time the query is run. This exercise shows you how to display the parameter value that is given by the end user in the heading of a report based on the query.
There are three main steps we need to complete to demonstrate this:
1) Create a table
2) Create a parameter query based on the table
3) Create a report based on the query
1. Create a new table and save it as tblEmployees. The table will need to hold the following fields which you should create in design view:
Field Name Data Type
EmployeeID AutoNumber
FirstName Text
LastName Text
Location Text
Set Employee ID as the primary key
Enter the following records into this table
EmployeeID FirstName LastName Location
1 Andy Bean London
2 Claire Doubt London
3 Enid Fairview Brighton
4 Geoff Hall Brighton
5 Ivan Jones London
Close the table
2. Create a query based on this table, adding all the fields to the query grid. Then add the following parameter for the Location field.
[Which location?]
Then in the next available column in the query grid type the following into the Field row
ParaLoc:[Which location?]
ParaLoc is just the name we have given our new column – it’s not a special function or anything like that. If you are experienced user of parameter queries you may wonder we have created this column. Well essentially it is so we can store the parameter value in a field and then refer to that field in the report.
Save the query as qryLocation and close it.
3. Create a report based on this query using the Report Wizard. Use all the fields except maybe the EmployeeID field. Once the report has been created switch to design view and in the report header delete the current report heading including its box.
Open the form toolbox and draw a text box where the report heading used to be. Delete the label for the text box and then type the following into the text box:
=“Employees Report for&“ ”&[What Location?]
Print preview the report: the parameter value that you entered for the location should appear in the heading of the report. For example if you entered London as your location, the heading would read - Employees Report for London

I am addicted to penny picking. Please help!!?
I scavenge the cold and unforgiving streets for my rusty treasure, and to seek wealth. I wander up and down paths in search of this wealth, and today, I earned £1.27, and I felt loaded! Then, I spent all of my £1.27 on cheap booze without saving a penny because the £1.26 booze is rubbish.
Now, I feel that my efforts have gone to waste, and I have built myself a house made from disposed baked bean tins; waste not, want not eh? Also, I used the relevant objects from the fly tipped rubbish to build myself a brand new 'Dell' branded laptop with the latest Microsoft Vista. Aren't I a genius?
No, your an idiot and that is not funny at all as there are actually a lot of homeless people out there and a percentage of them will probably die in the cold and wet weather tonight while you sit at your new Dell laptop being shallow.

Joyce C. Hall, founder of Hallmark Cards.
Joyce Hall became captivated by a salesman who stopped by his family's store in 1906 in Norfolk, NE. Driven by the postcard craze of 1903, Hall decided to venture from retail of various products to wholesale of postcards. He moved his business to a larger market of Kansas City. As time went on, Joyce Clyde Hall became more convinced that greeting cards would become more prominent than postcards. Greeting cards according to J.C. Hall represented class, promised discretion and "they were more than a form of communication-- they were a social custom
By 1915 the company was known as Hall Brothers and sold Valentine's Day and Christmas cards. In 1917, Hall and his brother Rollie invented modern wrapping paper when they ran out of traditional colored tissue paper. In 1922, the company expanded throughout the country. The staff grew from 4 to 120 and the line increased from Holiday cards to include everyday greeting cards
In 1928, the company adopted the name "Hallmark", after the hallmark symbol used by goldsmiths in London in the 14th century, and began printing the name on the back of every card and promoting it in ad campaigns, a practice the company continues to the present day. In 1931, the Canadian William E. Coutts Company, Ltd., a major card maker, became an affiliate of Hall Brothers, which was Hall Brothers' first international business venture.
In 1944, it adopted its current slogan, "When you care enough to send the very best." It was created by a salesman at a meeting. The cocktail napkin on which it was originally handwritten is on display at the company headquarters. In 1951, Hall sponsored a television program for NBC that gave rise to the Hallmark Hall of Fame, which has won 78 Emmy Awards. Hallmark now has its own cable television channel, the Hallmark Channel which was established in 2001. For a period of about 15 years, Hallmark owned a stake in the Spanish language network Univision.
In 1954, the company name was changed from Hall Brothers to Hallmark. In 1958, William E. Coutts Company, Ltd., was acquired by Hallmark; until the 1990s, Hallmark's Canadian branch was known as "Coutts Hallmark".

On September 6, 2007, Paris Hilton filed an injunction lawsuit against Hallmark Cards Inc. in U.S. District Court over the unlawful use of her picture and catchphrase "That's hot" on a greeting card. The card is titled "Paris's First Day as a Waitress" with a photo of Hilton's face on a cartoon of a waitress serving a plate of food, with a Hilton's dialogue bubble, "Don't touch that, it's hot." (which had a registered trademark on Feb. 13, 2007). Hilton's attorney Brent Blakely said that the infringement damages would be based on profits from the $2.49 greeting cards. Julie O'Dell said that Hallmark used the card as parody, protected under fair use law[citation needed].
Neil Armstrong sued Hallmark Cards in 1994 after they used his name and a recording of "one small step" quote in a Christmas ornament without permission. The lawsuit was settled out of court for an undisclosed amount of money which Armstrong donated to Purdue University. The case caused Armstrong and NASA to be more careful about the usage of astronaut names, photographs and recordings, and to whom he has granted permission. For non-profit and government public-service announcements, he will usually give permission.
