Use Macro to switch Forms and Choose the Same Record
OK. Thanks for the suggestion(s). The initial one gave me an error on the error handler. The 2nd one worked, but I have never used VB.
I have tried to use a macro (button on the footer) to OpenForm and then either (a) GoToRecord or (b) FindRecord. Really, pretty simple stuff. But neither will point me to the record that I seek.
So, here is my try. A simple macro in sampleForm will open up FormOne on the desired record, and not filtered to ONLY that record.
Then, another macro [via button on FormOne header] that fails my mission because, while it will choose the correct record in FormTwo, it filters to ONLY that record. Although some users would want it that way [CICS, other older DBMS systems, etc].
Good grief - how did you attach the Zip file? I cannot do it here. Drag & drop says Zip is not supported, nor does my bar show any 'Attach file' option. So here is a Google Drive link for my version of this sample DBMS: https://drive.google.com/file/d/120c3UY9Ohfpzlyzd72M5Nfq-b6iad3jH/view?usp=sharing
I'll look at your accdb later today, when I have a few minutes.
