Hello all,
I have a big problem, i need to create a report in access that contains the results from a query.
The query can only return a result if there is something input for the value. How do i make this query ?? Help !!

I'm not clear - you only want to run the report if you have user input?
Give me some sample data / queries.

Ok an example
I need to create a report (Letter) that looks up the name of a person, and then 2 fields of information (Job Function and Standard Limits). Each user has more than 1 job function, however i want the final report to ignore any job function headings where there is no data in the standard limits field.
Hope thats clear.

Give me table structures.
I'm guessing you want an inner join or some sort and perhaps a limit in there somewhere, but I'm still not clear what you want.

I guess its something to do with null values, however i can't make it work.
When i use "is not null" it gives no results.....

Table Structures....You really have lost me somewhat, i google it and its asking to use asp...I'm new to this
I know about inner joins and i think i'm just being stupid. you probably think so to.
I think i have the idea of what to do, just going to put it into play...

Its finished now, rang my old college lecturer and he explained how to do it over the phone.
You were right Ian it was an inner join using 2 queries, and i was doing it totally wrong for how it was meant to work...i feel like a fool 
Thanks for your help anyway Ian
