in what event are you using the codes you posted?

what is the name of the combo box?

here are the event that you can use to open the form
* afterupdate event of the combo

private sub comboName_afterupdate()
dim strDoc as string
strDoc=Me.comboName
docmd.openform strDoc

end sub
* click event of a button


private sub  Button_click()
dim strDoc as string
strDoc=Me.comboName
docmd.openform strDoc

end sub

chiefmic,

what is the purpose of this db application?

why do you have forms for each employees?, you only need one.
Thats where I drop the ball ,

Because I couldn't actually make it work as I want it , (auto creation of forms and stuff) I just work around it and produce a master copy to be added manually ,

The purposeis a crm where each employee can enter the data for new customers and the followed it up , so in each entry they put the details of the customer and it show them where are they , if its waiting , or due ,etc....
I need to know the entries for each employees because some have different functions , and Im work to sort how can i make  , for examples , Sales take care until contract is sign them automatically goes to admin and founding , and after they are done automatic service providers , ( all part of the company ), But im stock in this now . any Ideas??
the first thing that you need to do is to add a field to your table that will hold the name of the employee responsible or who created the record.
do you follow so far?
IM going to upload one with a bit more data in it so you can see what aI mean
Sorry, Yeah I created the employee column in my table
what is the table?
TBL_CRM
what is the name of the field that you added?
chiefmic,
you should not post your email address here..  click on the Request Attention above and ask to remove your email address
Capricorn1, the name of the field is employee name

Yeah they are really helpful I guess the best way is to modify one the templates to suit me , and drop the crm .

Still heaps work to do , thanks for you help .

Although Perhaps a Switchboar its all its need it ?
