Using same parameter value across multiple queries

[LiamOfFoxchase]

Access gurus,

I have a macro which runs a series of queries. 3 of these queries use the same value for a criterion, Fiscal Quarter. Right now, I go into Design View of each query and change the Fiscal Quarter manually. I'd like to automate this by entering the value once, and ideally I'd like to include this input at the beginning of the macro.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Liam

Why not convert the macros to VBA?

That should give you greater controls over the queries.

By the way could you not use a date calculation to return the current fiscal year, or do you want user input?
