Make a query ask for input
When you want a query to ask for input every time that you run it, you can create a parameter query (parameter query: A query in which a user interactively specifies one or more criteria values. A parameter query is not a separate kind of query; rather, it extends the flexibility of a query.). You can also create a form to collect parameter values. Using a form, you can: * Use data-type-specific controls * Enable the persistence of parameter values * Provide combo box controls (so that you can pick a value from a list, instead of typing it) * Use other controls that are available in forms This article provides an overview of parameters, explains how to use parameters in queries, and how to use forms to enhance your use of parameters.

Plan for Null Responses in Your Parameter Queries
Parameter queries in your database are a favourite with many users because they're efficient, easy to create, and they offer a dynamic solution when you want to query the same field for different criteria. For the most part, parameter queries work great until you decide not to limit the results of the query. For instance, suppose you want to return all of the records in a table. If you ignore the parameter request by entering nothing in response to the prompt, Microsoft Access doesn't return any records. In this article, we'll show you a simple way to avoid this behaviour.

Control data entry formats with input masks
When you have several people entering data in your database, you can define how users must enter data in specific fields to help maintain consistency and to make your database easier to manage.
