Select Row in Datasheet Subform

[Thelma Lubkin]

I'm resubmitting a question that went unanswered a while ago.
I'll try to rephrase it.

I have a hierarchical form that presents data on an 'organization'.
It has 2 subforms, the first a datasheet view of all the 'members' of
the organization, and the second, detailed information for the
'member' selected in the datasheet subform.

When user selects an organization [w/ yet another form], the resulting
view gives the information on that organization followed by the
datasheet view of members, with the first listed member selected, and
detailed information shown for that member.

I want to give the user the ability to specify which *member* [s]he wants
information about, so that the forms will select that member's
information when displayed. How can I do that?

--thanks, thelma

Write code similar to this aircode:
dim rs as dao.recordset

if not rs.NoMatch then sfrmMembers.Form.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
set rs = Nothing

: set rs=frmOrganization.sfrmMembers.Form.RecordsetClone

I get a runtime error that the operator must take an object
[I'm sorry, but I'm not at an 'access'ible computer, and I
neglected to write down the actual error text]

I looked at various internet sources and came up with
a similar line that involved use of ! -- again, I don't have my
code in front of me -- and that gave me an 'application or object'
error.

One thing that I do remember: I tried to put the code above [w/ my
requirements--which field, which value, etc -- into
the onOpen subroutine of the main form.

Move it to OnLoad. OnOpen may be too early.
