Row Selection on form

[Guest]

Hi Everyone,

I have a form, listing Invoice Header data. One Invoice per line. On each
line is a button "Select". When the user presses that button, I want to call
another form and show all the invoice data.

How do I pass the Invoice Number , as displayed, from the row that the user
selected (pressed "Select" on).

Thanks in advance for all your kind help,
Pat.

hi Pat,

How do I pass the Invoice Number , as displayed, from the row that the user
selected (pressed "Select" on).

Use the OpenArgs parameter:

Private Sub cmdSelect_Click()

DoCmd.OpenForm "Other",,,,,Me![InvoiceNumber]

End Sub


In your other form you can evaluate it:


Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)

If Nz(OpenArgs, -1) > 0 Then
'passed a InvoiceNumber
End If

End Sub


Otherwise use the Filter or Where parameter of DoCmd.OpenForm.

Use the OpenForm command to pass the filter using the Where Condition

In the button OnClick event write the code

Dim MyCondition As String
' If the invoice type is string, use
MyCondition = "[Invoice field name in table] = '" & Me.[Invoice field Name
in form] & "'"

' If the invoice type is numeric, use
MyCondition = "[Invoice field name in table] = " & Me.[Invoice field Name in
form]

Docmd.OpenForm "FormName" , , , MyCondition
=========================================
If you just want to pass the invoice number to the other form, use the
OpenArgs to pass the value to the other form

Docmd.OpenForm "FormName" , , , , , , Me.[Invoice field Name in form]

In the second form you can use
Me.OpenArgs to retrieve the value you passed.
============================================
