Ok so I am trying to open a form with another form and have it pull the record that corresponds to the date selected on the first form. I am trying to use the following, but it is just opening a blank/new record on the form.

Code:
Private Sub cmdOpen_Click()
    DoCmd.OpenForm "fData", , , "[dDate]=" & Me!txtDate
End Sub

I would also like to figure out how to have it open a blank record if the record doesn't exist in the table. Any help is appreciated!

How are ya Asspin . . .

Perhaps the follwing will do:
Code:
[blue]DoCmd.OpenForm "fData", , , "[dDate]=#" & Me!txtDate & "#"[/blue]

Hmm ok, maybe I set this form up wrong...

This seems to work for the main form, but I have subforms and the data isn't recording right, it is just saving to the first record in the database.

Any ideas?
