Trying to create a Reminder pop-up with stLinkCriteria.

Guest

Hello there. i am trying to create a Reminder pop-up on the on open function
of a form. I was using the following:
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String

DoCmd.Maximize

stDocName = "Reminder"
stLinkCriteria = "[Forensic Investigator]=" & "'" & Me![Text24] & "'"
stLinkCriteria = "[Date]=" & "#" & Me![Text15] & "#"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria

I have two sets of criteria that has to belinked before the pop-up Reminder
opens. If i do it this way as above: only the last stLinkCriteria applies. Is
there anyway that i can combine the two????

Pieter accidentally left off the closing quote for Forensic Investigator.
Also, remember that dates must be in mm/dd/yyyy format, regardless of what
your Short Date format has been set to through Regional Settings. Since you
can't always be sure what your users will use, it's best to be explicit.

Try:

stLinkCriteria = "[Forensic Investigator]=" & Chr$(34) & _
Me![Text24] & Chr$(34) & " AND [Date]=" & _
Format(CDate(Me![Text15]), "\#mm\/dd\/yyyy\#")

Thanks that worked but one more problem.

The user loggon - from there the form opens as this form open the reminder
needs to po-up displaying info. A setvalue function sets the value of hidden
fields on the form to the detais of the person logging in. and another field
is set to Date(). The link criteria is these two fields searching for
reminders corresponding to the name of the forensic investigator and current
date set.

What happens is when the form is opened the pop-up appears with no info
displaying. This means that the link criteria function run before the
setvalue function and the date() function because it is evaluating blank
fields and giving me a blank reminder. But still the setvalue function is set
on the previous page

The setvalue function is on the On click function of the first page.

Any suggestions on this?
