On my Switchboard form (frmSwitchboard), I have a listbox (lstRecords) that has 5 columns that are filled by a query that basically shows record informations, one of which contains record numbers. When the user selects on of these records, I want to open a different form (frmCAREntry) but I want it to open to the record number that corresponds to what was selected on the Switchboard list box. What is the best way to do this?
 
You can add this to the On Click event of the listbox:

Code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmCAREntry", acNormal, , "record_ID = '" & Me.lstRecords & "'"

You will need to change record_ID with the actual field name of the item you want selected.
 
I found this answer in another thread, except I had to remove both '

Thanks
