Open record in subform from hyperlink click on 2nd subform?

[hbrehmer]

Hi all,
It's a Monday and not enough coffee yet. I can't seem to figure this one out. It's probably very simple.

I have a main form with 3 subforms. Only one is an entry point, but another subform displays those entries as they are being entered. I want the user to be able to click on the list of entries to edit if necessary. I created a hyperlink on the field in the List subform. I have the code the open the form, but instead of just populating the record in the Entry form, it opens a new tab.

How can I get the OpenForm to just populate the subform instead of opening a whole new form?

Hi. You won't use OpenForm on subforms. Instead, you would typically navigate the main form or subform to the desired record.

I figured, but what is the code? OpenRecord? I haven't used that one before, that is why I'm having an issue with this one.

Hi. To get an idea what the code looks like, try adding a Combobox using the Wizard and select the third option.

Ok. I need help. Here is what I have:

Private Sub TicketID_Click()
DoCmd.SearchForRecord , "subTktSchedule2", acFirst, "TicketID= " & Me.TicketID
End Sub

My TicketID is in subOpenOrders form and I want to open the record in subTktSchedule form. Both are sub forms on frmScheduleTicket. What am I missing?

Hi. Are you able to post a sample copy of your db with test data?
