Question : Adding Records to another Form

I wish to Open a Form for another Table, having populated it with some of the Fields from VBA, leaving the User to complete it and thus create a New Record.
I have some sample code in a Macro, which works fine. I wish to do the same in VBA. I have included the Macro converted to VBA as I can't seem to copy the Macro text. Filters_New is the code I am interested in.
Thanks in anticipation.

Answer : Adding Records to another Form

All that CodeContextObject and TempVars stuff is not appropriate for VBA code (converted macros generally aren't much use, and even when it works the code is not the best syntax). I would start from scratch. Here is some code I use to create a filtered recordset for use as the record source of a form or report; it might be useful. For copying data from a form to another form, just save the data from each field (or control, for unbound controls) to variables of the appropriate data type, then, once the other form is opened, write the data from the variables to the appropriate fields or controls on that form. Using variables lets you test for appropriate data before doing the copy, and skip those fields that don't have any data, or don't have the right type of data.
