continuous form wont link

[tubar]

I have a continuous form that wont open another form with the onclick expression when there is criteria.

stDocName = "frmITEMSEARCH"
    stLinkCriteria = "[ID]=" & Me![id]
    DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria

is there a setting i am missing?

go to debug mode and see if you can fix it.

the command is correct, so either:
the text box called ID is not named this
or
the ID is not filled in the textbox. (or connected to the field)

(you dont need the ME, me.ID)
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmITEMSEARCH", , , "[ID]=" & ID

(i ALWAYS label my text boxs with txt to distinguish fields from textboxs)
"[id]=" & txtID

thanks for the tip on the textbox naming... iw ill follow that from now on. when i click the third record in the continuous form i notice the id in the first record is highlighted. when the next form opens it pulls the record from that id. is there something i could add in my code to activate the id in the record i slect. sorry if that doesnt make sense

when i click on a record in continuous form its taking the id from the first record to link to the form i open. so i tried this code

Private Sub Image15_Click()
myrecnum = Me.CurrentRecord
ID.Requery
 DoCmd.GoToRecord , , , myrecnum
 ID.SetFocus
 
stDocName = "frmITEM"
    
    stLinkCriteria = "[id]=" & Me![ID]
    DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
End Sub

thinking it would take the id of the record i click. however, it just goes to the next id everytime i click a record. exaple i click record five id 1 is criteria i click record 20 id 2 is criteria i click record 60 and id 3 is criteria and so on

just remove those first 4 lines in your code.
