stLinkCriteria

[Don]

This is the code in my button on a form that opens a pop-up form.

Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String

If IsNull(Me.PrintDate) And IsNull(Me.Date) Then

MsgBox "You did not enter a Work Order. Enter a Work Order, including
the Date, then press the Submit And Print Order Button."
Cancel = True
Date.SetFocus
Else
Me.Refresh

stDocName = "ADAfrm"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria

End If

What does stLinkCriteria do? ADAfrm is a pop-up form with a yes and no
button that prints different reports.

Check Access HELP for the syntax that goes with the OpenForm command. It
explains the parameters.

By the way, if you actually have field named "Date", be aware that this is
a reserved word in Access. Access may not mean the same thing that you do
when you say Me.Date...

In this case, stLinkCriteria does nothing at all. In boilerplate code such
as that generated by the command button wizard, it would be used to supply
where-condition criteria for the form, to restrict its content. However, in
the above code the variable is never set to any value, and so is an empty
string. Passing an empty string for the OpenForm method's where-condition
argument is the same as not passing that argument at all, and so the above
call is equivalent to just writing:

DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName
