dialog box on design view

I’ve lately encountered an annoying problem that I just can’t figure out why it’s happening. I have some queries that are based on other crosstab queries. When I attempt to view them in design view, I get the dialog box for the parameter that was defined in the original crosstab query popping up several times before it finally displays the design view. I’ve looked everywhere I can think of, now I need some fresh ideas. What could be the cause. It’s also not every situation where I have query based on another crosstab query.
