I have designed a database that has several forms. The forms include a
Warranty Registration for and Warranty Claim form. If I were on the warranty
registration form for a particular product, and the serial number of that
product were shown in a text box, I want to be able to click a button and
pull up all the warranty claims on that serial numbered product. I would
also want to be able to enter a claim and then click a button that would take
me to the Warranty registration.

Any help would be appreciated...t hanks

On the Warrenty Registration form create a new button. insert the
following code.

Private Sub MyButtonName_Cl ick()
DoCmd.OpenForm "My Warrent Claims form", acNormal, , "[Serial
Number] = '" & Forms!myregistr ationform!seria lnumber & "'"
End Sub

You can also do that function with a macro, which would be easier to do
if you have no Visual Basic background.

I should clarify that code.

Private Sub MyButtonName_Cl ick()
DoCmd.OpenForm "<type name of warrenty claim form here>", acNormal,
, "[<type name of text box containing serial number here>] = '" &
Forms!<type name of registration form here>!<type name of text box
containing serial number here> & "'"
End Sub

I tried to do this and it sort of worked. When I was on the registration
form, I clicked the button and it took me to a claim for the same machine.
However, when I closed the claim form and went back to the registration form
to try it for another machine, it just took me to the same claim I had just
pulled up before. Also, on the first try (when it worked) it only took me to
the last claim that was entered for that machine.

I guess what I want it to do is upon the click event of the button, use a
filter to narrow down the claims to the ones that have that serial number
associated with them, and vice versa for the claim form. (i.e. take me to
the machine registration).

Its all about knowing the warranty history for a machine at the click of a
button, and knowing if the machine has been registered, also.

Thanks for your help.
