open a form based on another

[bml337 via AccessMonster.com]

I have two forms "client" and "employee details" I want to put a hyperlink
on the client form that will open up the employee details. the relationship
is as such. one to many client to employee details.

client; ID, employee ID

employee details; ID, client ID

i think im getting stuck on the where condition.

A hyperlink is not approriate here. All you need is to use the OpenForm
method.

Don't use a macro. Just do it in VBA.

It would be something like
EmployeeID = Forms!ClientForm!Employee

Just use the name of the field in the other form's record source, and the
name of the control in the current form that has the value you want to use.

I suggest you learn VBA. It makes life a lot easier.

Yes, there is very little difference between 2002 and 2003.
