    Forms that open query that open custom parameter box but as form

    I'm making buttons that open a form with the parameter of "surname" so that the user that is allocated to the area only sees what they have in their area.



    I use a button on a switchboard that opens the form but I would like a custom parameter form - however I don't want the button to open that custom parameter form to then open the other form because I have a lot of areas and that means a lot of seperate parameter forms.

    I'd like one global form to type in surname that all the forms can be opened by depending on what button is pressed.

    I.e. VIC button opens School form but in VIC area - with a custom parameter form instead of the query parameter popup.

    Any thoughts?


    Nevermind - going to used stored temp variables instead....

    FYI you can use a single parameter form and pass the name of the next form/report to be opened in OpenArgs.

    Great, I will look into that - never knew about it before.

    The temp variable works great because they only have to type it in once and it locks them out of everything I don't want them to have access to.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
