but it just wont work. please if anyone can help. i need it to pull up the

Rivers,

Assuming you are using a macro with an OpenForm action, if I understand
you correctly you would simply put the equivalent of this in the Where
Condition argument of the macro design...
[CAM_BMUM]=[Forms]![NameOfMainForm]![CAM_BMUM]
