Here is what I have:
I have a database for tracking therapy clients. Client data is in one table.
Therapy progress notes are in another with a one-to-many relationship. I have
a form w/ subform set up to receive the data. I have a query set up to tie
the two tables together and feed into a report. (Tables/Forms and Queries all
do what I want them to properly) Right now, the report contains data from
every client and progress note.

What I want is to be able to place a button on the subform for the progress
notes, so that when it is clicked it generates the report with just that
current entry instead of every single progress note in the database.

Steve,
You need to filter the query behind your report, by some
unique key value, that is associated with just the record you're
currently viewing on the form.
For example, a ClientID.
Your query can refer to the open form for it's criteria...
=Forms!frmClients!ClientID
Your report will now only display the Client, and therapy records
associated with that ClientID.

I would use the command button wizard to create a button that opens the
report. Then modify the code created by the wizard so that it applies a WHERE
CONDITION in the DoCmd.OpenReport method:

Dim strWhere as String
strWhere = "[ProgNoteID]=" & Me.ProgNoteID
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptYourProgressNotes", acPrintPreview, , strWhere

This all depends on your report name as well as the primary key field and
datatype.

Steve

I'm entering that in the "Where condition" of the "Action arguments" section.
And keep getting the message that "Access can't parse the expression".

My primary key is "ID" the table is "Progress Notes" and the report is
"Progress Notes"

Below is how I entered the info:

Dim strWhere as String
strWhere = "[ID]=" & Me.ID
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptProgress Notes", acPrintPreview, , strWhere

Am I putting it in the wrong place or writing it out wrong?

Thanks

The ID field is an autonumber generated by access.

I was trying to do this via macro. I realised what you put down there is
code, so I went at it that way, and what I get when I press the button is an
error message that says the report doesn't exsist.

Do you know of a good reference site for setting this up step by step?

The report is there. I can open it manually from the navigation pane. I can
create a button that opens it with every record displayed. When using the
code you supplied, I have tried the report title with and without spaces (it
has spaces the way it is written on the report itself). For some reason, I
get an error saying it doesn't exsist or that the name is misspelled (it is
not) and an option to debug. When it opens the debug screen, everything looks
like it should.

You have spaces in the report name. That can cause problems.

Try using square brackets around the name and see if that takes care of the
problem.
DoCmd.OpenReport "[rptProgress Notes]", acPrintPreview

If that works then you can add in the strWhere to the call to OpenReport as
Duane suggested.

The report is there. I can open it manually from the navigation pane. I
can create a button that opens it with every record displayed. When
using the code you supplied, I have tried the report title with and
without spaces (it has spaces the way it is written on the report
itself). For some reason, I get an error saying it doesn't exsist or
that the name is misspelled (it is not) and an option to debug. When it
opens the debug screen, everything looks like it should.

If the error suggested the report doesn't exist, what do you have to
say about that?

The ID field is an autonumber generated by access.

I was trying to do this via macro. I realised what you put down there
is
code, so I went at it that way, and what I get when I press the
button is an
error message that says the report doesn't exsist.

Do you know of a good reference site for setting this up step by
step?

:

Are you actually using code or a macro? You mention "Action
arguments" but
this doesn't sound like code.

Is the ID field numeric or text?

Yes it is.

Is the ID field included in the Report's record source query?

:

I'm entering that in the "Where condition" of the "Action
arguments" section.
And keep getting the message that "Access can't parse the
expression".

My primary key is "ID" the table is "Progress Notes" and the
report is
"Progress Notes"

Below is how I entered the info:

Dim strWhere as String
strWhere = "[ID]=" & Me.ID
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptProgress Notes", acPrintPreview, , strWhere

Am I putting it in the wrong place or writing it out wrong?

Thanks

:

I would use the command button wizard to create a button that
opens the
report. Then modify the code created by the wizard so that it
applies a WHERE
CONDITION in the DoCmd.OpenReport method:

Dim strWhere as String
strWhere = "[ProgNoteID]=" & Me.ProgNoteID
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptYourProgressNotes", acPrintPreview, ,
strWhere

This all depends on your report name as well as the primary key
field and
datatype.

Here is what I have:
I have a database for tracking therapy clients. Client data is
in one table.
Therapy progress notes are in another with a one-to-many
relationship. I have
a form w/ subform set up to receive the data. I have a query
set up to tie
the two tables together and feed into a report. (Tables/Forms
and Queries all
do what I want them to properly) Right now, the report contains
data from
every client and progress note.

What I want is to be able to place a button on the subform for
the progress
notes, so that when it is clicked it generates the report with
just that
current entry instead of every single progress note in the
database.

Thanks for the assistance. For whatever reason, I could not get that method
to work. However, after many hours of looking through these forums, I found
the method below that worked for me, and am posting here for anyone esle with
the same issue.

DoCmd.OpenReport "Progress Notes", acViewPreview, , "[ID] = " & Me.ID

Entering that into the button's code pops up just the report with just the
record I need.

Try using square brackets around the name and see if that takes care of
the problem.
DoCmd.OpenReport "[rptProgress Notes]", acPrintPreview

If that works then you can add in the strWhere to the call to OpenReport
as Duane suggested.

If I put the whole entry:

Dim strWhere as String
strWhere = "[ID]=" & Me.ID
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptProgress Notes", acPrintPreview

or just the last line

DoCmd.OpenReport "rptProgress Notes", acPrintPreview

I get the following when I click the button:

"Run-time error '2103'

The report name 'rptProgress Notes' you entered in either the property
sheet or macro is misspelled or refers to a report that doesn't exsist."

I'm not putting it in a macro though, I'm putting it in the code builder.

What happens if you remove the strWhere?

Dim strWhere as String
strWhere = "[ID]=" & Me.ID
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptProgress Notes", acPrintPreview

Steve,
You have to understand that until you provide an actual name, we will
suggest a name placeholder like "rptProgressNotes". This is a best guess on
my part as to what I would name a report of progress notes. If your report
doesn't have the same name, you need to understand that you must change it.
