I have created a file menu that acts as a way for users to easily create
standard reports. All of the reports need the same initial information to begin (i.e. which periods to compare). What I want to happen: 1) When a user chooses the report from the file menu I want to create a global variable based on the selection. I thought I could capture this with the following. .OnAction = "'Create_Reports_Start""" & .Caption & """'" This refers to the following sub: Sub Create_Reports_Start(ReportName) Application.StatusBar = "Creating report: " & ReportName Form_Reports.Show End Sub 2) I have declared ReportName globally with the following: Global ReportName As Long 3) When Form_Reports has been filled out then I would like the following to run upon pressing the "Create" button, using the 'Select Case' to call the desired report. Private Sub Button_Create_Click() Dim Year1, Year2 As Long Year1 = Box_Year1.Value Year2 = Box_Year2.Value Application.ScreenUpdating = False Select Case ReportName Case "Events by Level" '<< code stops here with a mismatch error Call Create_Report_EventByLevel(Year1, Year2) 'Continue with the rest of the reports... End Select Unload Form_Reports End Sub The global ReportName variable seems to work some of the time and not other times. It places the text in the status bar, but when form_Reports loads it does not place ReportName in the caption of the form (this is in the User_Form_Initialize code). I would greatly appreciate any ideas either to fix what I've got or better suggestions. -- JNW |
