Hello All,

I'm a really basic user and I wanted to ask the expects on
now to go about doing this:

I have created a phone book with names in it. I want to
have the names in the phone book linked to another form
with all the person's information in that particular form.
So for example:
if I wanted to click on someone's name (using hyperlink?)
it will automatically bring me up to another form with all
the person's info on it. For every name I would like the
same thing done.

If anyone can help me with this it would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
Vi
 
In general what you are going to need is code to open a form whose record
source is a query that accepts a parameter. In this case, the parameter
would be a control from the phone book form. I would create a command
button on the first form and add the code to the OnClick event. There are
other ways, but that seem sthe cleanest instead of clicking the name, IMO.

How's your coding?
