I have a database with requests from customers. When a new request is needed I have it that you view the customers make sure they are in the table in form (Schcustomer) from that point you select which customer the request is for by clicking a button next to record that brings up all information about the customer with a form(Vcustomer) and a subform (Vrequest_subform) shows all requests for customer. What I need is a way to open my requests (frmRequests) from here with any request I want to select is this possible? And how would this be done. I’m unable to add a button to the subform next to the record.

Thanks for any help………..
 
Why not use the Double_Click event of the subform records??
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmRequest" ,RequestID=Me.RequestID

This opens the form and links the data in the new form with the record you have selected in the subform
 
Trendsetter,
Thanks this is what I'm looking for the only thing is all my request records load into my form I just need the one I Double_Click on any suggests.
Thanks Ez.
 
In the command string to open the form you need to specify which record you have selected - this sysntax should do it:

DoCmd.OpenForm "frmRequest",,,RequestID=Me.RequestID
 
Trendsetter,
That's extactly what I needed;
Thank you very much
