Access form button to generate and filter existing report

Question

I have a form that provides my users with a summary of vacation time (Associate Summary). I also have a report that generates the summary information in report format for email

Answer 1

Use the OpenReport method's WhereCondition parameter to filter the report's record source.

So, assuming the form has a text box named txtUserName and the report's record source includes a field named user_name, use something like this in your command button's click event procedure:

DoCmd.OpenReport "YourReportName", _
    WhereCondition:="user_name='" & Me.txtUserName & "'"

Actually you can make troubleshooting easier by using a string variable to hold WhereCondition.

Dim strWhere AS String
strWhere = "user_name='" & Me.txtUserName & "'"
Debug.Print strWhere ' <-- use Ctrl+g to open Immediate window and view this
DoCmd.OpenReport "YourReportName", WhereCondition:=strWhere
