DoCmd.Close OpenArgs NOT WORKING

[clchris_80]

I am trying to open a Form from a report that will allow you to add another incident onto the same record. This requires the new form when it opens to have some but not all of the new fields to be auto populated so that the ID is the same and they all stay linked. My open arguments don't seem to be working though I copied them DIRECTLY from Microsofts example and changed the name. The form opens but nothing populates. Here is what I've tried so far.

Private Sub Command19_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "IncidentDetails", acNormal, , , acFormAdd, acWindowNormal, _
EventID = Reports!IncidentFocus!EventID


End Sub

I've also tried:

Private Sub Command19_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "IncidentDetails", acNormal, , , acFormAdd, acWindowNormal, _
"EventID =" & [Reports]![IncidentFocus]![EventID]
End Sub

I've tried a few others but they aren't even worth mentioning. Please Help!

Want to provide link to the example source?

Should title of this thread be 'DoCmd.OpenForm OpenArgs NOT WORKING'?

That button is on what form?

The second example you show should pass a string value in OpenArgs like: "EventID=473"

Then code in form IncidentDetails must extract the string from OpenArgs and do something with it. Looks like should set the Filter property of IncidentDetails form.
