Hi

Could someone help me please.

We are trying to ensure that certain information is input correctly so we
are trying to design a small application that walks uesrs through step by
step.

On one form "CLIENTS", on the save button, I am automatically opening the
next correct form based on a field called CL_CATEGORY

If the Category is CO the COMPANY form automatically opens. If the category
is TR, the TRUSTS form automatically opens.

Based on this, I would like the new form to automatically display the Client
Key so the user does not have to search for the client they have just set up.

How do I Open a form and populate a field with the previous forms info.

Thanks in advance

Click to expand...

Drop a new button on your first form with the Control wizard enabled. One
of the wizard options for a command button does exactly this. It basically
opens the new form pre-filtered to match a field or control on the current
form.
