back button in a form

[Xzibit7]

Okay I've got a form that lists the projects assigned to a certain employee. This form selects the employee to show by a popup form that lists the employees. The prject listing form then has a clickable command on eacj project to go to that individual project and updata data on it. I would like to add a back button to this form to go back to the listing of that employee. The problem is I have to create a new form (and query with different criteria) for this form that will list the assigned projects. Then when I click on this forms project # I will have to create a new form(and query with different criteria) for this form. I think that in fact I will have to keep creating forms and queries on however many different times the user goes back in fact. Because all these queries get there data from a form. and the queries can't get data from more than one form. Is there an easier way of doing this?

How about using a query that doesn't reference a form. When you load a new form, set it's Filter properties.

I'm not quite clear on what you want to do, but I think you could give the appearance of a wizard without keeping a whole bunch of forms loaded. When user presses Next or Previous buttons, just load the new form and close the one you are in.

As far as I can see this is the epitome of your request!

Whats not known is wether your opening another form for the purpose of editing. To me it appears so (I could be wrong). But if I'm right, your back button simply needs to [blue]close[/blue] the UpDate Project form!

Thanks TheAceman1, that actually is a great idea I had been closing the project listing form once the new updateable form is open(based on habit), but if I just leave that open and then close the project input there you have a back button. This is a simple elegant solution that I wish I had thought of.


BTW sorry for all the typos before.
