Once the supervisor and employee enter their comments in, I need to have an Access snapshot dynamically generated and displayed within an ActiveX control.  I proven all the pieces work together finally!  Now all I have to do is add in some more data fields and polish the navigation bits.

When using Access alone, I can use a pop-up window to enter the employee name for a filter.  How the frell do I filter a report dynamically when creating an Access snapshot through ASP?
