On this code do you know what do I need to do to change it to open a form
based on the query performed?
The code

Private Sub cmdPreview_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Handler
'Purpose: Open the report filtered to the items selected in the list box.

End If
'Report will not filter if open, so close it. For Access 97, see note 3.
