Data Entry form - Report?

[mounty76]

Hi All,

Is there anyway to make a report based on a new record just entered into a data entry form?

FYI The data entry form also has a subform with the child table in

Cheers

the entry form would have a button to open the report.
The report query would look on the form for the record key , say: txtID
qry: select * from table where [id]=forms!fMyForm!txtID

then the report would open on the record currently shown:
docmd.OpenReport "rRpt",acViewPreview

I tried this but it didn't work? Not sure why but was guessing it was because it was a data entry form?

Can't see why the solution offered wouldn't work.
Post a copy for us to look at.

By that do you mean Data Entry set to Yes?

Perhaps the record needs to be saved before the report is opened.
EDIT:
Something like:

If Me.Dirty = True Then

     Me.Dirty = False

End If

before the line that opens the report.

Yes that is correct, sorry should have made that more clear

Think that is why it is not working

What did you do?
I was going to suggest switching data entry off and back on again.
