This will work, with OpenReport instead of OpenForm:

Hi. There are a few ways to handle this. For your case, it might be easier to create a query based on table2 but with a criteria based on form1. You can then use this query for report1.

Message to the OP
Please be patient. Everyone here is an unpaid volunteer and due to different time zones, it is the middle of the night in the USA where both pbaldy and the DBGuy are based.

As already explained in pbaldy's link, assuming its a text field, the syntax would be something like

DoCmd.OpenReport "ReportName", acViewPreview, ,"FieldName = '" & Me.ControlName & "'"

If you want to filter using a query, put something like Forms!FormName.ControlName in the filter criteria for the required field. Obviously modify all names to match your database

If that doesn't help, I suggest you use Access help or a Google search.

Perhaps you could post a copy of your db

And pbaldy said use OpenReport instead of OpenForm ?

Make sure you SAVE the record BEFORE opening the report so that the report includes any changes. Remember, the report is pulling data from the underlying table NOT the form.

If Me.Dirty then
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
End If

DoCmd.OpenReport ..... (follow the prompt to provide the arguments)

You need a WHERE clause when you open the Report.

The Report should load the record WHERE the ID of the record on the Report equals the ID of the record on the form. Example in a macro:

You can trigger this with a button on the form. Use the On Click event of the button.
