 * To create the parameter, type a phrase enclosed in brackets in the Criteria row of your query design grid. ex: [wedding]
 * When you run the query, Access sees the bracketed parameter and prompts you to enter a value in the Enter Parameter Value box
 * The value you enter is passed to the query as the parameter
 * The text within the brackets of the parameter becomes the prompt that you see in the Enter Parameter Value dialog box, so choose the information that needs to be entered. The phrase also serves as the name that Access uses to identify the parameter.
 * After you enter the value, Access processes the query, selects the matching data, and presents the results in a datasheet.
