Open Form / Where Condition

[Harvard]

I have a report (rptStrategicPlan) that has 2 subheadings: 1) goals 2)
objectives. I'm trying to make this report open up a form (either goal or
objectives) when that subheading is clicked. For instance, if you were to
click on objective 1.2, I would want the frmObjective to open and list all
corresponding details under objective 1.2.

To accomplish this, I used an 'OpenForm' macro with this 'where condition':
Reports![rptStrategicPlan]![SubObjectiveID] = Forms![tblAnnualPlan
Subform]![SubObjectiveID]

When I run this macro, the form will open, but no records appear. Any
assistance would be much appreciated!

If you want the form to find the value from the report, why are you putting
the report's value first?

Thanks Jeff,

That helped a lot. Now I've got one more question for you...When I double
click this macro in the report it brings up an "Enter Parameter Value"
window, and then I have to manually type in the subobjectiveID that i want.
is there a way to automatically get the value to popup so that it opens the
form on the correct id?

If you base your form on a query that looks to the same source that you're
using for selecting your report (i.e., the other form), then when that form
opens it would use a query that uses the first form's value (you'll have to
tell Access where to look, but this is the generic idea.)


In the future, you'll find you get a lot more folks looking at your question
if you post a new thread, rather than continue one you've started in a new
direction...
