    Opening a form from inside another form using ID

    Roger that Minty. im treating the notes section sort of like a doodle pad as there are those in the office that are.... averse to change... and don't like keeping all digital records instead of having paper everywhere. Im using it more as a space for those people to scrawl their notes and...

    Opening a form from inside another form using ID

    There's only ever going to be one record so one table is the way to go I think. Thanks for the explanation dude. This table was originally set up to be a sub form within the Main form with a 1:1 connection with the ID field thus I kept it simple and included only one ID as the form itself...

    Opening a form from inside another form using ID

    With reference to the above, would you recommend changing the Note ID to number? or is there a better way to sync everything up? Could I place the ID field from the TWA form in the notes form and use that to call up the form in the same way as before? Also I removed all the Note records...

    Opening a form from inside another form using ID

    One of the variations tried was to try and call the ParentID (As this is what 'NoteID' used to be prior to me renaming it for reasons that you stated previous) However I was still left with the issue of needing to manually input the ID for the record to display. For clarity the WHERE...
