On Double click open a specific form
David B 
    
10 years ago
OK.  I don't think  explained my question well...so here goes again.

I have many different forms (about 200).  I have the names of these forms stored in a table and I have a form associated with that table.

I want to be able to build a macro so that when the viewer is looking at the list of forms they can  dbl click and open the form named in that record.

How do I do that?

For example:  
My list shows something like this:
BDI
BAI
BHS
BSI

If they clicked on the first on "BDI" I want it to open the form named "BDI"

Thanks so much!

I love the courses


Reply from Alex Hedley:

You know the Table names are stored in a sys hidden table you can get info from, so you don't need to store them in your own table?
Although if you have a reference to a form then it might be useful, instead you could name the Form the same as the Table and just open it based on the name with some string manipulation.

Not sure with Macros, never use them, although Advanced series is covering stuff like this.

expression .OpenForm(FormName, View, FilterName, WhereCondition, DataMode, WindowMode, OpenArgs)

Usually it's a string
DoCmd.OpenForm "CustomerF"
But it could be a variable
DoCmd.OpenForm varFormName
