There are no recorsd being returned when i run my parameter query. 

SELECT TrackingID, DocumentNumber,DocumentType, RequestDate,DueDate, 
ProgramID, AssignedTo, Author, StatusDate,Subject,Notes
FROM tblDocTracking
WHERE (((tblDocTracking.ProgramID)=[forms]![frmProgramSelect]![ProgramID]));

I have frmProgramSelect open. 

I am not sure what i am doing wrong. Can you help? 

Be sure the control ProgramID is out of focus, to be sure that the value you 
keyed in has been "updated".  If the control is not updated (committed), 
its last committed value, probably a null, will be used by the query.

Any chance that the ?combobox field in your expression ([ProgramID] doesn't 
actually hold the ProgramID field?

Did you make a selection in the Combo before running the query?

If you want all records whereby you do not make a selection try using this --

SELECT TrackingID, DocumentNumber,DocumentType, RequestDate,DueDate, 
ProgramID, AssignedTo, Author, StatusDate,Subject,Notes
FROM tblDocTracking
WHERE tblDocTracking.ProgramID Like 
IIF([forms]![frmProgramSelect]![ProgramID] Is Null, "*", 
[forms]![frmProgramSelect]![ProgramID]);

Another way (copied from John Spencer post) --
SELECT TrackingID, DocumentNumber,DocumentType, RequestDate,DueDate, 
ProgramID, AssignedTo, Author, StatusDate,Subject,Notes
FROM tblDocTracking
WHERE tblDocTracking.ProgramID Like 
Nz([forms]![frmProgramSelect]![ProgramID], "*");

I would like to point out that this works if ProgramID is never null.  Also 
since you are using LIKE the assumption is that ProgramID is a text field, 
although Access will automatically convert the value in the field to a string 
in most cases.

I am so embarassed! I didnt actually name the combo box ProgramID! I renamed 
and my original coding worked.

Thanks all and sorry for wasting your time!
