I am curious whether it is possible that when i load a record in one of my forms and i choose to add a quote for that record selected, so i choose add quote (button) which takes me to my quote page. i would then like the form to auto load the record i had previously selected in the other form.
Client Form:
Quote Form:
Here is the data flow:
Record Selected ("Add Job") > Click "Add Items" button > "Items List" loads > the record i previously selected in "Add Job" is then auto loaded.
the feild that will need loading are "Project ID" & "Client name"
Use OpenArgs
argument of the DoCmd.OpenForm
method
- When you click
Add Quotes
button to open Quotes form, send the details/linked ID via openArgs parameter.
- In Quotes form load event, you can get the details passed using
Me.OpenArgs
See below sample code
On Add Quotes button click
Private Sub AddQuotes_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmQuotes", OpenArgs:=me.ClientID
End Sub
Quotes form
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim varArgs
varArgs = Me.OpenArgs
'Fill the controls with recordset data
If Not IsNull(varArgs) Then
With CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM tblClients WHERE ClientID = " & varArgs, dbOpenForwardOnly )
Me.ClientID = !ClientID
Me.ClientName = !ClientName
Me.ClientAddress = !ClientAddress
Me.ClientPhone = !ClientPhone
Me.ClientEmail = !ClientEmail
.Close
End With
End If
End Sub
