Open Form to Specific Record Without Filtering

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will show you how to open a form to a specific record without filtering, allowing you to browse all records effortlessly. We'll use VBA and commands like FindRecord and GoToControl to achieve this. Perfect for developers looking to enhance form functionality in Access.

Caroline from Evanston, Wyoming (a Platinum Member) asks: I have a form in my database that I want to open to a specific record, like you do in your TechHelp database, but I also want to be able to browse through all the other records once the form is open. Is there a way to do that without filtering out the rest of the records?

In the extended cut, I will show you how to achieve the same functionality more efficiently using a RecordsetClone and a Bookmark. This method avoids moving through the records on the form itself, offering a faster way to navigate to the desired record.
