Question : Opening Another Form Filtered with a Button

Hello,
  I am using Access 2007 with two forms. Just starting out VBA programming.

  On the first form called frm_ChangeManagement, I have a combo box with the list of applications, using AppID to pass the value. I created a button next to the combo box to open a second form, called frm_ApplicationsMatrix. The second form would output the results using the AppID.

  I was able to open the second form as a starting point. However, when I tried to use filter commands to output the results on the second form using the value of AppID, I got an error of 424 Object Required. I had thought I fixed it by using a Code Builder using OpenEvent property with a blank value as a workaround, but it did not last long.

  I appreciate for any insight.

Code Snippet:

1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6:

Private Sub OpenFormFilter_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_ApplicationsMatrix", acNormal Form_frm_ApplicationsMatrix.Filter = "Forms!frm_ChangeManagement!AppID" Form_frm_ApplicationsMatrix.FilterOn = True End Sub

Open in New Window

Select All
