selecting records from a grid

[kstart]

I have a grid in a form that reflects all of my reports. I need to be able to doubleclick on the first field in the grid which is text1 under column1 in the grid. I have placed a DO FORM in it's doubleclick event and it does start the correct entry form however I am trying to figure out how to make the form open using the report number value that is in text1 under column1 in the grid. I have the form but just cant figure out how to select the record. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

If you're acting on the double-click of the text box you could pass the value of that textbox into the form:

[TT]Do Form MyForm With This.Value[/TT]

That might work with the WITH this.value but I get an eror saying "No Parameter statement is found" so being the new kid I am still lost.

You'll need an LPARAMETERS statement in the Init method of the form to accept the parameter. The error you've got is arising because the form is getting a parameter but doesn't know what to do with it.

It's explained in Help under "parameters, passing data to forms".

With what Geoff wrote, create a custom form property to hold the passed parameter and store it during the form init. When the init exits all it's varibles go out of scope and are destroyed.
