    Macro tools wizard / making a button to open a form

    I've created a problem tracking database that is very simple. Within it is a form that tracks how many open problems are assigned to a particular technician.
    I also created a form that allows you to open up the entire entry for editing etc.
    The problem is that I want to create a button on the first form that will open the 2nd form with only the records assigned to that technician.
    In form design I click the "Button" button and pick Form Operations - Open Form, Next, Pick the form I want (frm_open_by_), click the "Open the form and find specific data to display.", Next, Highlight Tech Assigned on both sides and hit the <-> button and finish it off...



    See below for the code that the Macro gave me:

    (Action Open Form)
    Form Name: frm_open_by_
    View: Form
    Filter Name: (blank)
    Where Condition: "[Tech Assigned]=" & "'" & [Tech Assigned] & "'"
    Data Mode: (blank)
    Window Mode: Normal

    The macro works great, except it opens up ALL the records, not just the ones assigned to Jane Doe or John Doe or whomever. . .

    Thoughts, solutions? It's been giving me fits.

    Is Tech Assigned a number or a text value? your code is assuming text and as text does not euwal number then no filter is applied.

    The Tech Assigned field is a text field not a number

    Just before the macro runs type in the following

    MsgBox "[Tech Assigned]=" & "'" & [Tech Assigned] & "'"

    Does it give you what you would expect it to do?

    It could be you need to use the Me! operator. Not used 2007 yet.
