linking forms

[2ippy]

I have a button opening a create item button on a form. This open and creates new record on a input item form. This form is also on the 1st form within a subform (dataview).

1st Problem I am having is that the 2nd form for inputing items into the DB doesn't show the current customer the items would be assigned to as it does with the 1st form.

How do I get the button to open the form and have the correct customer in the data without having to enter it?

2nd Problem is how do i grey out a box so it shows the autonumbers and does not let you edit the field?

Command button wizard search help for more info on linking forms.

Me![Control].Enabled=False Will stop a user adding anything but me I would just hide the field i.e. Me![Control].Visible=False That way you have more space as you can put another control over it.
