Go To Specific Record Via Shortcut

Is there a way to create a shortcut to open a MS Acccess DB and have it
go to a specific record?

In my DB, when a user delegates a record to another users, I currently
send out an email to the personing saying they been delegated to
followup on an item.

I list the reference number, but was thinking that it would be really
cool if I could attach a shortcut in the email that would go to the
record.

TIA.

Sure. Use the /x command line argument to run a macro of your choice.
For example you could write a macro that calls a VBA function that
finds out who's logged in, looks up in a special table what ID value
to go to for that user, and opens the form to that value.

Tom:

Thank you. I was hoping to pass the reference number via the command
line since a user can have many records. I want to be able to go to a
specific record, not a set of records.

Any ideas?

You can use the Command function to retrieve the entire command line.

However, I think I would still use a table in the back-end, which
would indicate which primary key value the form should jump to when
the special /x macro executes.

But more than one user may go in it. So how would the macro know who
is coming in?

Hi to all, I am displaying a list of records in a subform which is embedded in a popup main form (in order to ensure that users close the form when leaving it). It seems to be impossible to delete a record in this subform. When I switched modal off and tried to delete a record from the list, I deleted a record on another form (below the popup form).
