I have a report that would use one of two queries, depending on the status of
a field in the main database table.
The field in the table is called "In-House", and is set as a Yes/No field.
What I want to be able to do, is, upon opening the report, to have it check
that field, and if it is Yes then it would run query1. If it is no, then it
would run query2.
Is there a way to do this?

By code you can set recordsource

if In-House = 0 then
reports("YourReport").recordsource = query1
else
reports("YourReport").recordsource = query2
end if

The report will need to have its recordsource initially set to a query that
contains In_House as a field. So in the OnOpen event, you can simply test
(If In_House) and then set the recordsource property accordingly. Bob.
 
using the code as written return a Type Mismatch or Compile error on the line
if In-House = 0 then
suggestions?
 
You code reads like " If In minus House = 0 Then"
Try not to use "-" in field or any other names. You might be able to use
if [In-House] = 0 then

Sorry steve,
In also for this reason that it's best not to use minus sign but under_score

OK. I wonder if I am doing something wrong.
I have changed my naming for In-House to In_House. Entered the sample code
in the report open, and made the changes needed to the report name and query
names.
The report will open, but it does not appear to be pulling my data. I am
getting a #Name? error on every field.

Any suggestions?

Are you attempting to change the record source of the report with code in
the report that looks at a field value in the report's record source?

yes. I have 2 different queries that run on the same report. I want to make
it so that they don't have to end up trying to choose which report they want
to run.
Basically, what I want it to do is that if In_House=0 then it would change
the recordsource for the report to a particular query, say test1. However,
if In_House= anything other than 0 it would change the record source to the
query test2.
