Using the wizard, I have created a command button that
pulls up a subform based upon query. However, I want to
use the same subform for other popups - all referencing a
different query. I don't want to create multiple
subforms but would rather use only one. How can I do
this?
 
Keith,

I'm still a newbie but I would use the 'where' and the 'openargs' of the
DoCmd.Open.

DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria, , ,"MainFormCallingSubForm"

Then I would put VBA in the OnOpen property of the subform to check the
'OpenArgs' and use that to determine which query was supposed to be the
recordsource for that form.

If Me.openargs = "FirstMainForm" then
Me.recordsource = SQL1 (or query1)
ElseIf me.openargs = "SecondMainForm" then
Me.recordsource = SQL2 (or query 2)
..
..
..
End If

A case statement would also work out well.

Yes I believe this is the way to go, however I am not
sure how to do this. Can you elaborate on the code?

You will need to "dynamically" set the Record Source of the subform.

I would suggest the following:
The event procedure code that occurs with the click event
would read:

Me.SubFormName.RecordSource= "put a SELECT statement or
query name here"

In the code of the command button add:

Forms!frmNameOfForm.RecordSource = "nameOfQuery"
Forms!frmNameOfForm.Requery

Add similar code to other buttons. If the query to choose is based on a
value on the current form, just put the code in an IF then statement.

If Me.txtNameOfTextBox = "Annual" then
Forms!frmNameOfForm.RecordSource = "nameOfAnnualQuery"
Else if Me.txtNameOfTextBox = "Quarterly" then
Forms!frmNameOfForm.RecordSource = "nameOfQuarterlyQuery"
End if
Forms!frmNameOfForm.Requery
