Report - Template 1

I have a report that I created based on a query. I wanted to use that report as a template for other reports. The header information, logos, labels, etc.
So I copied the report and pasted a new report with a new name. The second report is based on a different query.
So I went into the report and deleted out all the fields from the first query, changed the data control to the new query and placed the fields from the new query where I wanted them on the report.
My problem is that when I open the report it stills asks for the fields from the first query. Like they were still on the report. THEY'RE GONE! They aren't even on the report.
Is there a better way to disassociate the report from the original query so that I can use this method for the many reports that need to be part of this database.

I don't want to have to design all this stuff over and over.

Any help would be appreciated.

Check for any Grouping levels in your report that might still be looking for the original query.

Also check what the record source is set to.
