How to Open and Link Order form

[MaxQTime]

Hi Everyone. I'm trying to make a button that will open an order form with the customer ID already in and be able to add the order linked to that customer. So I have a table with customer info, and a table for the order information, including a linked field for the Customer ID. I have a form with a search box and a list of customers from that search box, i also have a button that will open up a customer form and let you edit the customer info based on which customer is selected in the list box.

So, I need a button that will open a new form and let the user enter the order information in, and save it linked to the customer selected in list box of the previous from.

Also if there is a way to stop the buttons from throwing errors if i forget to select a customer in the list box that would be a huge help too.

Thank you.

It would be easier to have the order form as a subform on customer form.
