Ray, The easiest way to do this is to select the first query in the database window and then hold down the control key while you drag the query to a blank spot in the window. IT will copy with the name copy of... your original query. Easy to edit the name then by selecting the copy and press F2. Then edit the query.

I want to create twelve separate queries that differ very little. Most of the selection criteria are identical. Just one field is different. The resultant reports go to twelve different people. Please give me some guidance on how to save a copy of a query with a new name while keeping the original query intact. From that point, I can go into Design View and make the necessary change to one criterion. Thanks for the help.
