Pass Info to a Report - Nifty Access

The download Zip file contains the database shown in the video above.

A common way of Passing information between Forms, Reports and the like is to package the information between delimiters and pass it as a string in the OpenArgs property. However this is obviously Limited, or more correctly I should say it's limited to your ingenuity! There are some fantastic things done with this method, there are functions for extracting the information and all sorts other variations.

On the face of it, the method using Custom Properties looks bulky  & complicated. You've got these strange "Custom Properties" written into your Form Module, you are using OpenArgs as well, so why not use OpenArgs for passing through all the values?

Where the "Custom Property" method excels is when you need to make changes, and indeed, when you build it the first time. It's so straightforward.

The code from this download is also supplied free on my website which is linked to here:-

All you need to do is build the Form and Report yourself.
