Datasheet ActiveControl Question 1

I have a subform datasheet which exists for example as so:
ID Name

When you double click on the row a new form is opened with a filter on the ID.

I do this by using the ActiveControl as my filter.

However I do not want to display the ID in the Datasheet.

If I do ID.ColumnHidden = True, then the ActiveControl becomes Name and my application breaks.

Any suggestions?

Thank you,

In stead of referencing ActiveControl, you should be able to reference the control holding the primary key. If the field it's bound to is ID, then the control is probably txtID?

[tt]docmd.openform "myform",,,"id=" & me("txtID").value[/tt]

Thank you!

I was expecting this type of action to be under a .Selected, but it works exactly right.
