I set up address labels for my Christmas card list last
year and used it without problem. I am now trying to
print this years labels but my computer (known as the
Borg) keeps asking for aparameter value, whatever I enter
is then shown after Mr & Mrs. Can someone help please?
 
You may have inadvertenly changed the field name of the table that
contains all the records. For example, if you the field name was [Full
Name], you may have changed it to [Card Name]. When you run the report
now, the report is looking for [Full Name]. Since it has been renamed to
[Card Name] it will not be able to find it. As such it will prompt you
"Enter parameter value [Full Name]." What ever you enter now becomes the
value of [Full Name].

To fix it, go into the report. Look at the properties of the field that
holds the person's name. Check the Control Source. The control source is
what the report is looking for. Make sure the field that holds the
person's name in the table has the same name as the control source.
Chances are it doesn't. Change either one so they both match. That
should fix the problem.
