Form and subform buttons HELP PLEASE

[channell]

I want to thank anyone in advance for helping me out.

I have a form with a 2 subforms. The main form has a combo box which looks
up a name of a person. The subforms then display information about the
person I selected. The two subforms are alomst identicle except one (a) is a
single for (which you can select through the various records with the
navigation buttons), and the other form (b) displays continuous records with
abreviated info on it. Now, I want to put a button on every listed record on
form (b) that returns the same record in form (a).

I hope I explained clearly. Thank you so much for your help.

Hi channell,
Put the button on subform b
Put code like this:

Private sub btnB_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmA", , , "[ID] = " & Me.ID & ""
End Sub

btnB is the name of the button on form b.
frmA is the name of the form with the single record.
ID is the name of the primary key field of each record on frm b.

Replace those names with appropriate names for your forms.

Tanks a tonf for the help. I have put the information in the "On Click"
Event as follows:

Private Sub Command62_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "f6135MAINENTRYEASY", , , "[6135 ID] = " & Me.ID & ""
End Sub

It is now saying: "Compile error: Method or data member not found"

It is highlighting the "Me.ID" Section of the code.

I am not sure what to do from here. Thanks a lot again!

Ok, I got it working for the most part... What is happening right now is that
form (a) is now opening in a separate window, but displaying the correct
information. I don't need it to open in a separate window; I need it to
automatically change on the form I have opened. Thanks for your help!

There is an example showing this in action in the Northwind sample database.
Have a look at the form called Customer Orders.
To get to Northwind, open Access, go to Help | Sample Databases.

Just remembered that in Northwind you must double click in the 1st subform
to make it work.
Here is a way to make it happen automatically:

Add a hidden text box named txtLink to the main form's header/footer
section.
Set sfa's Link Master Fields property to txtLink and the Link Child Fields
property to the corresponding field.
The code in sfb's Current event would only need to be:
Parent.txtLink = Me.thelinkingfield
The rest is automatic.

I apologize and I greatly appreciate your help, but it didn't work, and I am
sure I am doing something horribly wrong. It now asks me to enter a
parameter value for "txtLink" I am not sure what to do from here. I am not
good with VBA at all. Thanks

I have a couple of forms in an app I am working on that do exactly this.
There is a main form with 2 separate subforms.
In other words, the second subform is not on the first subform, it is on the
main form in the same way that the first subform is on the main form.
Is this the way yours is set up?

On the main form I have an unbound text box called txtLink.

For the first subform's On Current event, I have
If Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount > 0 Then
Parent.txtLink = Me.PartID
End If

PartID is the primary key for both subforms.

For the second subform, on its property dialog, on the data tab I have
Link Child Fields PartID
Link Master Fields txtLink

This works very well for me.
I wonder what is different in the way your forms are set up?

Linq,
it doesn't require quotes at all. It is just setting one control to the
value of another control.
