In query design, you can just put your parameter in the query.
To run it programmatically, you can then use RunSQL in a macro or code.

A better programmatic approach might be to build the SQL statement in code,
concatenating the parameter value into the string. Then Execute the string
itself: you don't need a saved query. The advantage is that you know whether
it worked or not. Here's an example:
