DoCmd.openform criteria using a variable

[Phil Stokes]

I have been trying to open a form from another form on a particular record
where the number of the record is provided by a Variable. When the form opens
it is empty and there is only 1 record available and it says (Filtered)

the code I'm using is

strDocName = "dutylist input old"
DoCmd.OpenForm strDocName, , , "[Index] = ClientNo"

Index is the record number in the table and is dispayed in the textbox
called Index on the form that is being opened. ClientNo is a variable. i have
tried many different combinations and i'm at a loss now.

The spammers and script-kiddies have succeeded in making it impossible for
me to use a real e-mail address in public newsgroups. E-mail replies to
this post will be deleted without being read. Any e-mail claiming to be
from brenreyn at indigo dot ie that is not digitally signed by me with a
GlobalSign digital certificate is a forgery and should be deleted without
being read. Follow-up questions should in general be posted to the
newsgroup, but if you have a good reason to send me e-mail, you'll find
a useable e-mail address at the URL above.

worked . Thank you again
