I have a login process where the loginID is stored in a utility page for
reference. The purpose of this is so that the User only sees information
pertaining to themself. When I write a macro do I keep refering back to the
utility page and then open the form that I want them to use?

Thanks!

Click to expand...

you can assign the value to a global variable and then filter that way
- just pass the argument when you open the form.
 
Sorry, what does pass the argument mean? For example, if:
the utility table where the ID is stored is called "F_Utility"
and the file I am wanting to open so they see their info only is
"UpdateProfile", how would I write that?

And, would I write it the same way if I was creating a report where they are
leaving the main menu to submit an expense claim for work that they did (so
the job number would appear and pull up some details.. or would it be better
to sort by user and then pull up all of their files??)?

Thank you in advance!!
Cheers!
