Open form a specific record - Newbie

[Darryl]

Hello Newgroup:

In my app, the user may select a record from a "listbox" by double-clicking.
I would like to open and display the selected record on a new form.

When I use the "DoCmd.Open"

PolicyNumb = 4

DoCmd.OpenForm "sfrmCnfrmEntryPolicies", , , Forms![frmItemList]![Policy_id]
= PolicyNumb

Ms-Access 2000, prompts me for the value of "PolicyNumb", even though that
var has been set in the code.

Is this the best way to approach this problem ? Any suggestions or
recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Darryl,

The Where Condition parameter uses a string that tells Jet (the database
engine) which field to check, what comparison to use and the test value. Try
the following:

DoCmd.OpenForm "sfrmCnfrmEntryPolicies", , ,"[Policy_id]=" & PolicyNumb

In the above, "[Policy_ID]" should be inside the quotes and should be
replaced with the name of the field you want to test.

This is working great Sandra! Thanks very much for answering my post.
