Open Form From Table - Microsoft Access / VBA

Bill Hand

Is it possible to open a form from table and have it access a given
record?

I want to be able to query all baseball cards with the last name Jones
and have it open a table. In each record of the table I have a
hyperlink field that opens a form. Now say I have 10 Jones' and I
want the form to open up to Andruw Jones not Chipper Jones. Is this
possible?

This is more of a curiosity question than anything.

Thanks.

Bill, It's not possible via a table because the table doesn't have events
associated with it. What you do is design Forms and use the table/queries
as the recordsource for the forms. You can make the forms look just like a
table by setting its default view to datasheet if you like or you can design
it to look like a datasheet by setting it's view to continuous form and
adjust as you like. Now the form has click, double-click etc. events
associated with each record and you can capture those events, determine the
record you are on, and open another form to the record currently selected on
your form etc. Hope this helps!

Wouldn't it be easier to use a continious form and use a command
button to open the detailed record? It is not good design to open a
form from a table. Users should never have direct access to the
tables of a database. You are just asking for trouble.

Hi everyone, As some of you may know, we've been having trouble with an unrecognized database format error. Today I installed an unfinished project on the workstation of one of my users.

I had noticed it was faster than find or filter, so I offered it to...

Have form only open for one user at a time.

My application is split into a front end and back end. Each user has their own copy of the front end. There are a few forms I only want to be open for one user at a time.
