    Would you consider using VBA instead of a macro? the code would look something like this
    Code:
    DoCmd.OpenForm "[RequestDetails]", , , "[ReqID]=" & Nz(Me!ReqID, 0), , acDialog

    Agree with doing it VBA, error codes in Macro's are notoriously vague.

    I think it's a bit odd to get an OLE / Active X error when opening a form?

    Guess what! I just removed the "=" sign before [ReqID] and it opened the Form!
    Thanks all for your suggestions!
    Problem solved!
