open and filter report from command button in form

[Guest]

please help i have a form named "add and edit orders" and a report named
"purchase order"

In the form i have a field [OrderID] and in the report i have a field
[orders.OrderID]
where these 2 field are identicle.

i want to be able to click a command button to open the report and filter by
the [OrderID] field. i am assuming that i need to assign a maco to the
command buuton on click but no matter what i try when i set up the macro it
wont filter the report.

hope this makes sense

many thanks

The command button wizard should be able to do this for you. If not, the
code is very simple. Just follow these instructions:

1. Open your form in Design View
2. Add a command button.
3. If the wizard doesn't work, just open a property sheet for the selected
button.
4. Click in the On Click property
5. Click the down arrow and choose [Event Procedure]
6. Click the elipses (...) button, a code window will open
7. Type the following line of code:

DoCmd.OpenReport "YourReportNameHere", acViewPreview,, "OrderID=" &
Me.OrderID

smile ... you have written VBA code.
