I have a new single-table database (it hasn't been released to the users at all yet) in which I've created two forms that look at the same data: one form which has a spread-sheet-like format, and displays a few fields for all the records in the table, and another form that displays all the fields for a single record at a time. I'd like to be able to have a button on the summary form that opens the detail form for the particular record selected (and it's all right if the detail form allows paging through other records).
I'm uploading the database, if that helps. I haven't yet split the front/back ends, so it's just in one file, and the uploaded version contains dummy data.
(Edit: You'll see that I already tried to do this using code similar to what works for a parent/child table arrangement, but since this is a single table, I didn't know the sytax for "simply open another form for this same record".)

Sueb,
This is really easy once you know how and to be honest you were very close on your attempt.
To do this go to your overview form in desing view.
Ensure you have the control bar up so you can add buttons etc.
Make sure you have the magic wand selected so control wizard will be used whenever you place a button.
Place a command button exactly as you have with the"+" signs on.
The control wizard will pop up.
Select to open a form from the form operations menu.
You will be asked what you would like the button to open, select "Contact Details".
You should then change the option button to "Open the form and find specifc data to display".
Now you are presented with two columns showing fields from each of the forms. From what I can see the one field which definitely will link the two forms together in some form of relationship is the "Patiend MR #". So select both of these in each column. Then ensure you click the "<->" button in the centre of the two columns. This will display the relationship at the bottom.
From here select how you want the button to be displayed to suit yourself.
Then select a suitable name for the button such as cmdDetail and then finish.
Sorry if the explenation is not great, I have also uploaded your database edited with the code working.

Contributor munkee, the explanation was GREAT! perfectly clear and easy to follow, and exactly what I needed. Especially because now I know how that code I tried to modify was created--thanks a million!

Hello,
I thought about a new Python feature. Please tell me what you think
about it.
Say you want to write a base class with some unimplemented methods, that
subclasses must implement (or maybe even just declare an interface, with
no methods implemented). Right now, you don't really have a way to do
it. You can leave the methods with a "pass", or raise a
NotImplementedError, but even in the best solution that I know of,

Greetings. I have a problem with a combo box incorrectly displaying
blank items when returning to a form from a modal form. It's fine when
the main form first comes up, but gets messed up when the main form is
reactivated following opening and closing a modal form. Strangely,
this was not a problem until I started using my Access 2000 db in
Access 2003 (as an Access 2000 db). Details follow...

Can anyone help. This is really doing my nut in. 3 years ASP exp. and

Basically I am left with the code of a guy who has left. When I click a

'button.form.submit'. On the Server side there is a Button click event
for this button, but for some reason it no longer fires. It worked fine

This question is one of "theory" rather than a search for the specifics of a

Hi -
Is it possible to hide the detail section of a report at run time?
I have a report that prints all details, with summary lines. The user
would like the report ALSO with just summary lines.
It seems the simplest thing is to run the code (see below) once with
the detail section showing, and a second time hiding the detail
section. I can't figure out the code to do that and don't see it
posted.

Hi everyone,
I've got a question about what makes the "img" element's width/height
attributes valid HTML or XHTML.
First of all, this is a rather theoretical question, but digging through
the W3C HTML 4.01 standard and this group's archive didn't give me a
satisfactory answer, so here we go:
Is <img src="img.png" alt="" width="100px" height="100px"really valid?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
