I don't have any parameters setup yet when I open a form it asks for
parameter. How can I get rid of this?
 
You probably have a text box looking for a field that isn't part of the
record source. maybe someone deleted a field from a table or query. What is
the parameter looking for?
 
What is the form based on? A table? A query?

If a query, does that query work correctly if run independently?

Is the form filtered?

Are all the controls in the form bound to existing fields?

What do YOU mean by "don't have any parameters setup" ...?

More info, please...

Access will prompt for a parameter if it sees something that it doesn't
recognize. For example, if you have a textbox with a Control Source of
[FullName] and there is no such field in the form's recordsource query, it
will ask for it.

Check the spelling (blanks are important, [FullName] and [Full Name] are
totally different fieldnames) and see if the parameter for which you are being
prompted is in fact in the form's Recordsource query.
