If I understand this right ... You want to open a report where the report is filtered to only include records Matching same Reference Number on the form.

You can do something like this:

In your form create a command button then add the following code to the on Click Event.

DoCmd.OpenReport "Name of your report", acPreview, , "[Project_Reference_Number]=" & Me![Project_Reference_Number] & " "

*Note - you would want to add a bit of error handling to this!
