Open a form to show only dates from the originating form

[NadiaWilkes]

Hi everyone.

i have a single form with several fields and one of the fields is a date field. On that form I have a button that opens another form that basically contains the same data only in a continuous form so that I can see all records, not just the one record on the main form. When it opens I want it to only show the records that contain the same date on the single form I have open already. Eventually there will be records for various dates but if I am on a record and open the form I only want to see the continuous form records with that same date only. TIA

Add filter criteria to the code used to open the new form. Something like this ...but using your form, field, control names

DoCmd.OpenForm "NewFormName", , ,"MyDateField = #" & me.DateControlName & "#"

If you press the F1 key whilst you click on OpenForm, Access help will open and give more info

Another method is to use Me.FilterOn=True followed by Me.Filter = "MyDateField = #" & me.DateControlName & "#"
