I'm trying to open a form whose ID needs to be based on another forms ID number. I thought something like

Dim strWhere As String

strWhere = "[FORM1ID]=" & me!FORM2ID

DoCmd.OpenForm frmNamesEntry, acNormal, , strWhere

But this doesn't work...I just need Form2 to go to whatever record I'm currently on in Form1 any help would be greatly appreciated.

On strwhere try using
strwhere=me("form1ID")
Life's a journey enjoy the ride...
