- Microsoft Access Help Database Forums and Wiki by UtterAccess.com. I create a button on Form A to open Form B. I have an OpenForm macro set on the button.
- Using filters in OpenForm macro action. Using a series of buttons one one form (A) to open another form (B). The buttons on A are all using the OpenForm action and are filtering form B through the use of queries. Form A itself is based on a query.
This filters an open form by assigning the expression to the form's Filter property, but the expression for the WhereCondition argument of the OpenForm method would be just the same. In your case it would be combined with the filtering on FlightID of course. In this chapter, we will cover the basics of Macros in Access. A Macro is a tool that allows you to automate tasks and add functionality to your forms, reports, and controls. Macros in Access work a bit different from Macros in Word or Excel, where you essentially record a series of keystrokes and play them back later.
-->The OpenForm method carries out the OpenForm action in Visual Basic. Internet eraser pro.
Syntax
expression.OpenForm (FormName, View, FilterName, WhereCondition, DataMode, WindowMode, OpenArgs)
expression A variable that represents a DoCmd object.
Parameters
Name | Required/Optional | Data type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
FormName | Required | Variant | A string expression that's the valid name of a form in the current database. If you execute Visual Basic code containing the OpenForm method in a library database, Access looks for the form with this name first in the library database, and then in the current database. |
View | Optional | AcFormView | An AcFormView constant that specifies the view in which the form will open. The default value is acNormal. |
FilterName | Optional | Variant | A string expression that's the valid name of a query in the current database. |
WhereCondition | Optional | Variant | A string expression that's a valid SQL WHERE clause without the word WHERE. |
DataMode | Optional | AcFormOpenDataMode | An AcFormOpenDataMode constant that specifies the data entry mode for the form. This applies only to forms opened in Form view or Datasheet view. The default value is acFormPropertySettings. |
WindowMode | Optional | AcWindowMode | An AcWindowMode constant that specifies the window mode in which the form opens. The default value is acWindowNormal. |
OpenArgs | Optional | Variant | A string expression. This expression is used to set the form's OpenArgs property. This setting can then be used by code in a form module, such as the Open event procedure. The OpenArgs property can also be referred to in macros and expressions. For example, suppose that the form that you open is a continuous-form list of clients. If you want the focus to move to a specific client record when the form opens, you can specify the client name with the OpenArgs argument, and then use the FindRecord method to move the focus to the record for the client with the specified name. |
Remarks
You can use the OpenForm method to open a form in Form view, form Design view, Print Preview, or Datasheet view. You can select data entry and window modes for the form and restrict the records that the form displays.
The maximum length of the WhereCondition argument is 32,768 characters (unlike the WhereCondition action argument in the Macro window, whose maximum length is 256 characters).

Example
The following example opens the Employees form in Form view and displays only records with King in the LastName field. The displayed records can be edited, and new records can be added.
The following example opens the frmMainEmployees form in Form view and displays only records that apply to the department chosen in the cboDept combo box. The displayed records can be edited, and new records can be added.
The following example shows how to use the WhereCondition argument of the OpenForm method to filter the records displayed on a form as it is opened.

First, change:
Where Me.ID is the name of a field or control on the current form ( Microsoft Access - get record id when button is clicked ).
When you refer to a variable, put it outside the quotes:
This is going to be fine for an ID, which is numeric, but it will get a little more complicated with text and dates, because you will need delimiters. This will work well as long as
sometextvar
does not contain a quote:Otherwise
And dates take #
To avoid problems with locales, it is nearly always best to format to year, month, day, so:

I tried I had the same, be sure that the name you give to the id is the name used in the form, not in the DB! IE, my id is
id
in DB, but pc_id
