I am using a list box to select a record to be displayed in another form. I get an error message "Run-time error '2450' Microsoft Access can't find the form 'frmTest' referred to in a macro expression or Visual Basic code." The form does exist and it is in the same database. I am using Access 2002. Here is my code:

Dim rst As Recordset
Set rst = Forms!frmTest.RecordsetClone 'This is where the code stops.
rst.Find "CustomerNumber = " & List0
Forms!frmTest.Bookmark = rst.Bookmark
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmGoToRecordDialog"

I can open frmTest with this:

DoCmd.OpenForm "frmTest"

Thanks for the help!

Once the form is opened, you can set the recordsource as follows:

Set rst = Me.RecordsetClone

But to open a form with a recordset based on the criteria selected in a list box or text box, your code would look something like the following:

Dim strCriteria as string

strCriteria = "[CustomerNumber]=" & Me![List0]
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmTest", , , strCriteria

hi guys, i hav similar problems as Nash does. it doesnt allow me to run the following codes:

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
    Forms![PrintSummaryMenu].Visible = False
End Sub

and the error comes from the Forms![PrintSummaryMenu] line(i guess it is the !)

i am playing with access because i am converting an Access 2.0 to Access XP, is it doable??i am working hard to convert them but the problem seems to come from the compiler and the macros. this is my first posting!!~hehe...Thanks for reading.

I just saw this post, but when you convert from 2.0 to xp, you'll probably have issues because DAO is no longer the default. Make sure you have a reference to DAO 3.6 and when you use things like dim db as database and dim rs as recordset, preface the database and recordset with DAO. so it would look like the following:
Dim db as DAO.Database
Dim rs as DAO.Recordset

hi there..

I am having same problem...I need help from linking the forms into other forms. I made default (input) form for certain group so that I have to enter information at once only and it copied it down rest of the form place value. The structure is same to all forms.

For example if I take one group which contain only 3 forms out of one is default (input form) and should copied info to rest of two forms.
[share] = Form 1
[share A]= Form 2
[share B]=Form 3

[share] consist let’s say two combo box(i.e. [combo1] and [combo2]. When I select the value in [share] form of [combo1] it should copied those info to [share A]’s [combo1] and simialry in [share B] and so on.


How do I link these tables. Please help

I am not sure what you want to do here ankrups. Do you want forms to be opened with a combo box already populated, or do you wan the form to be filtered, or do you want to create a relationship between tables?

Please clarify. I know someone will be able to help here.
