Default Open form based on query results

Hi all,

I am new to the forum and new to access as well. I do have Excel developer experience so coding is not new to me. I hope to use this forum to get experienced with access as well.

Here is the thing i am trying to pull off.
I have a form that searches for keywords in another form (form data). The result of a command button on this search form is a query that shows the matches that the search has found. The query consists of two columns: one colum with an identifier and a column that counts the hits of my search (eg when my search consists of 3 words and two of these 3 words are found this column would show 2). The count column is sorted in decend so that the "best" hits are shown at the top.

Now i want 1) to open the form with the "best" hits and 2) have a command button on the form (form data) that will allow me to jump to the second best hit and then to the third etc.

How can i pull this off?

Thanks for any help!

Robbert

Anybody?

I cant find a pretty solution for my problem. I find myself searching for a solution that would have worked in excel. I came up with something that does at least the first thing. However it requires me to open two extra windows, eg the queryresult and a form based on the query result. Here i have the result shown as a text box. Having the first result in the text box allows me to "name" this entry and using it as a reference when opening my final form. This is something I would have done like this in excel and through this workaround works pretty fine in access as well. I do however believe that there is a more pretty way of doing this but due to my lack of access knowledge i dont know how.....

The second point i have solved by creating a button that goes back to the form based on the query result. Here i can scroll down to the next best option and open the final form according to the entry shown in the text box. Again not a very pretty solution jumping from one form to the other.

Any ideas how access allows me to solve this issue?

Thanks for any help!
